Popcorn came to us when the current owner was gonna euthanize her because Popcorn had been attacked by there other dog and had become an inconvenience in the owners life. She is great with either dogs here and completely house trained. She does well with kids, cats and other dogs. She is just been a joy to have around our home while we are fostering her. She loves to go for walks and snuggle on the couch. Would to great for someone that is liking for a companion to just chill on the couch and watch TV with.

Story
We adopted Ginny 7 years ago and she has been a joy ever since. She was abused before and it was good to show her how good humans can be. She shows so much gratitude and is a guard dog and cuddle bug all in one! She is amazing with kids, adults, and the elderly! Perfect baby sitter. Before we had a child of our own she was around our family and friends children of all ages and she is so gentle with them. She is good with other dogs as long as she is the Alpha. I don’t suggest if there is a female dog who is a alpha. Hates cats. Would be a great addition to a family!!! She loves going for walks or just lounging around! We are rehoming because once we had our daughter a year ago we realized she is severely allergic to Ginny. We had to put her outside which breaks our hearts because the cold is causing her to have arthritis! Need to rehome asap!

Story
Ellie is about 4-5 years old. We got her from a shelter right near Charlotte Airport. She is wonderful with our two year old son. We unfortunately do not have time for her as we travel and work a lot. We want her with a loving family and don’t want to make any money by giving her away. She should be with people who can give her the attention she deserves.
