Story
Obi is an energetic young boy that loves to spend time running outside! He is very loving and always wants to cuddle or play. He has been good with our cat and young toddler with limited contact. Obi had a medical issue that required surgery when he was a born and due to this surgery he does dribble pee. Some days are better than others, we used to have him wear diapers but he would tear them up so we just get him outside as much as possible. Other than that he is a good boy that deserves a good home. One that can really give home the time together that he deserves.

Story
Strawberry very sweet and affectionate. Strawberry is being rehomed because she can not be trusted around toddlers or babies. Because she can’t be trusted around them, she is often separated from the family, and I know she doesn’t like that, nor it is fair. She is a sweet and very intelligent dog. She is up to date on all core vaccines, and her teeth were cleaned within the last year. She is fully house trained, and she makes a great indoor dog. Vets have always assumed she was a beagle lab. She is 11; however, the vet says she is very healthy! She is a naturally more anxious dog, but she does very well once she warms up to someone. Her ideal home is a quiet home with an owner or family who can spend time with her. Nothing means more to her than being petted and given a treat. She is a more anxious dog when she leaves the home. She also would get along with older children Please reach out if you can provide a great retirement home for her. Thank you.
