Story
Rehoming Two Wonderful Dogs Due to unforeseen circumstances, I am unable to give my two beloved dogs the attention they deserve. I want them to find a loving and caring home where they can thrive and be happy. Meet the Dogs: Black Shar Pei Bubba (2.5 years old): A sweet, affectionate dog who loves human companionship. He is well-trained and accustomed to going outside. He thrives with lots of attention and prefers a home without young children. He would do best with someone who can spend quality time with him and give him the love he needs. Brown Shar Pei Mix Bluey (1 year old): A friendly, adaptable young dog who is also well-trained and good with people. She can fit into various household environments and is easy to care for. Note: It would be ideal if they could be adopted together, as they have been companions, but I am also open to separating them if the right homes come along. If you are interested in giving these wonderful dogs a second chance at happiness
