Story
Cheeto is a 3yo male neutered shipoo. He is a loving and great boy. I am in the process of selling my apartment and I unfortunately cant bring him with me. Ive also been working more hours due to some financial hardships and Cheeto spends 80% of his days in his crate, which isnt a life I want for him. Hes great with other dogs and kids. I love him and want him to have the best life possible, even if its not with me.

Story
Archie has been with us all his life since adopted at 4 months old. He is loyal and loving. He is a low energy comfort dog that loves being where ever you are. He sleeps most of the day, and is bored. He needs someone who will play w/him, go for a car ride, take him for a nice walk or have a yard. He doesn’t get on the sofa unless invited and then he just wants to put his head on your lap. He’s house/crate trained. Toys/crate will go w/him. He is not able to go to the dog park - too much stimulation but with the right owner who can help with training that can change. He’s about 75-80 lbs. VERY SMART knows commands. Been around children as young as 4 without issue. They love him. He has not had much experience around other dogs or cats at all. When walking outside people are reluctant to have their dogs near him due to his size so he has been limited in long walks/dog park. Newly married, husband is terrified of all dogs due to childhood trauma so I have to rehome before I move in.
