I’ve had this baby since she was a few weeks old now she’s 6, I’m moving where there is a lot of stairs as well as I can’t have them there and I really hate to see my princess go but I don’t think 3 flights of stairs will be to nice to her she is one of the best dogs ever as far cuddles and warmth go

Story
We got him at Polk County Humane Society and he is around 7 months old now. We want him to go to a loving home who has patience and will love on him. He is a sweet dog, but it’s just not a good fit for us and sadly it’s not working out. If you’d like further details about him and his behavior, I can talk privately with anyone interested.

Story
I had gotten him when he was 2 and when I got him there was a log chain wrapped around a tree for his leash which was also rusted to his collar and then we gave him some love and a pack to play with, and now that me and my previous significant other has separated and I’m also moving where there is a lot of stairs he’s 7 years old and I don’t think 3 flights of stairs is going to be the best for him so sadly I have to let one of my best friends go
