Story
Stubbz was adopted at a shelter where I noted he was the only dog not barking his head off. We took him out for a walk and fell in love instantly. He loves playing chase (or rather, getting chased) with a ball or toy of some kind in his mouth. He loves yard time and walks. He's animal aggressive which means he doesn't get along with other animals or small children. He has some mild separation anxiety that is easily abated with some playtime. He's not an over eater and he occasionally skips meals. Giving him a bit of a food topper will help encourage his appetite if you're worried about that. He very rarely barks, only when someone approaches the front door. He *loves* having a window to look out of through the day. He didn't used to be a cuddly dog and is still a little standoffish, but sometimes he gets in an affectionate mood and writhes around on his back, demanding cuddles. If Stubbz gets outside he will be excited and want to be chased. Don't do that, instead squeak a toy.

Story
I bought my dog off of a website, he was just a puppy back then he was about 4 months old. Mason is extremely friendly and playful he likes to be close to his mom/Dad but he also likes his space too. Mason is 8 years and 6 months old now and I swear he still thinks he's a puppy lol. Mason is mat or cage trained as far as the bathroom. Mason would need a owner who can spend time with him or who is home a lot because he doesn't like to be alone. Mason also needs someone who can afford him he has anal gland issues so he goes to the vet every month to get them drained or whatever they do and this cost around $90 a visit. I'm rehoming my dog because I can't afford him any longer. He will come with everything u would need to care for him. Food, toys, poppy mats that are washable, food, a kennel and water and food dishes we also have pet stairs for him because my bed is super high off the floor. I'm getting desperate no animal shelters have space for him. I don't know what else to do.

Story
I got Dior back in 2021 as a 12 week old puppy from family friends. It was supposed to be a temporary thing as I was going to watch him while they found him a home. I instantly fell in love with him and decided to keep him and care for him. He has been my best friend ever since. Unfortunately, I am moving in with my significant other, and due to my demanding career, I am finding myself not being able to take care of him and give him the life that he deserves. He is an amazing dog, and has so much love to give. He is good with people but not with other dogs although I don’t think he would hurt anyone. It kills me to have to do this but I want to put him first and knowing that someone else might be able to give him a batter life brings a little joy into this otherwise saddening situation. An experienced bully/pittbull or experienced dog owner in general would probably be the best choice here as he is extremely active and out going and can be a lot at times.
