Story
Bella is an incredible dog! Bella is loyal, protective and loving. She’s a great protector! When we found her she was being tied to a pole and her owners left her. We were going for a walk in the park and o truly believe that was the start of her separation anxiety. She suffers from really bad anxiety. Bella does great with other pets, she loves to run and play and is a high energy dog. Would do great in a fenced in yard. Because Bella is so protective she doesn’t like to see play fighting or any type of hitting. I have recently had a little boy as we have 3 children now and Bella doesn’t really seem to care for smaller children. Once they’re older she’s okay but as younger babes and crawling and such she doesn’t seem to handle them well. Bella is a great guard dog. She really is a great dog and it makes me sad to rehome her but at this time we just can’t keep her.

Story
We have had Texas since he was a puppy, almost 4 years. We have nine children and a few small children. The kids have created anxiety in him because they can be rough with him at times. He shakes and gets scared with strangers as well. He would do well in a home without small children. He is very loyal, likes to lay on you. We love him very much and hate to have to rehome him but we truly feel that it is in his best interest to find him a home that is calmer and doesn't have small children.

Story
Ruby is a great dog, however she is afraid of men. We brought her home from the shelter recently and she has struggled with men in the home. She won’t go outside if I open the door and barks/ growls at me when I come home or is walking around at night. But she also will lay on me and give me kisses. She was a puppy mill dog so she is afraid of crates and has separation anxiety. We are hoping to find a better suited home for her. Somewhere quiet and with someone who is able to work with her needs. She is great with our baby, but we cannot give her the home she needs. We are just looking to get some of the money back we have put into her. We are willing to give you her collar, leash, treats, food, and tennis balls to help make her transition a little easier.
