Evo, is a four-year-old Labradoodle with an energetic temperament. We need to rehome him because he is starting to have trouble with our older dog. He is very loving and cuddly toward his people. Also very smart and a good listener, loves to play and snuggle. He just has some resource guarding issues and it is starting to become a problem with our older dog.

Story
Adopted Maggie in 2017, where the previous owners and vets guessed she was 3 years old. She was a rescue, so her origins are unclear. Shes very laid back. People often remark at how theyve forgotten she was there when they visit. Unfortunately, in the almost decade since adopting her, my family has grown. I have two kiddos, and Maggie has fallen to the background. Its not her fault, and I think she deserves better in her final years. She has issues, though. If left alone she will scour the trash and countertops for anything edible, as well as pee or even poop on the floor sometimes when left alone. That can be mitigated by letting her out a lot, but its mainly sep. anxiety. Storms and fireworks make her tremble. The only solution is meds or tough it out, weve tried everything else. She has Cushings & takes 37.5mg of Vetoryl daily (~$80/mo, BandanaRx). Her eyesight is pretty bad, as you would guess from the pics. Shes a good girl. She's not perfect but deserves better.

Story
Everyone please meet Finn (aka Finley Eugene aka Fibber) he is our 6 year old Aussie/Poodle mix. He is fixed and chipped and his birthday is 11/09/2019 making him a Scorpio! When we adopted him in 2020 I truly believed he was my soul dog but with our changing home environment I know he is not thriving anymore. We have a 1.5 year old son and I can see how anxious Finn gets when my son is around. As to no fault of his owe, he does get possessive over food and I don’t feel comfortable with my son being around him anymore. On top of that we are also moving and won’t be able to take him since we have to downsize. Finn would flourish with a human solely dedicated to him or at the very most with one other pet. To whoever ends up with him, take care of my best friend <3
