Story
I have to preface this by saying I've only had him for 3 months. I was supposed to be pet sitting but the owner never came back. He does fine with children, I have a child with autism and he does fine with him. Also, I've had him around smaller children recently and he did just fine. Once he gets comfortable he's a very energetic dog. He loves to play and run. He loves his walks although he's not very trained. He knows sit, and wait, but that's it. He wasn't potty trained when I got him. I've tried but by my work schedule being hectic I wasn't able to get him on a schedule. He's not crate trained at all. He is reactive to other dogs, only I don't know if it's a bad reaction or not because I was afraid to socialize him with other dogs. I have to add that just recently, he's become a little food aggressive. But also, my son and his two small children just moved in and he's uncomfortable with the new living arrangements. Which is why I need to find him a loving home and fast. Thank you

Story
Lilith is a beautiful 3-year-old sweetheart who has been my baby since she was just a tiny little thing. I’ve had her her whole life, and she has grown up surrounded by love, care, and affection. She’s not just a pet to me — she’s family. This is one of the hardest decisions I’ve ever had to make. Unfortunately, due to a recent move, the place I’m currently living is not safe or suitable for her. As much as it breaks my heart, I love her too much to keep her in an environment where she could be stressed, uncomfortable, or at risk. She deserves peace, stability, and a home where she can truly thrive.

Izzy needs a new home! Beautiful 5 years old spayed female 1/2 Blue Heeler/Australian Cattle Dog the other half combo?. We are retiring and moving and Izzy deserves a yard, some outdoor daily fun and continued love. This is hard for us but we would like to re-home into someone else’s loving arms and home. She is up to date on all shots and sees a Vet regularly. Izzy eats well, sleeps well and goes to doggie play place several times a week and runs with her buddies. She deserves to be with someone or some couple that enjoys the outdoors. At large dog parks she runs So fast and loves the outdoor life. We would love for her to have that kind of day. We never leave her outside alone. She is a family dog with lots of love to offer. Her recall Is great and treats get any positive behavior. We walk 3-4 times a day and she catches frisbees in our yard with us. She is great in car. She is not meant to be with kids under 10ish. She’s a beauty!
