Story
Opie is a 7 year old male french bulldog. He has had trouble living with kids and needs a home with no children. He bit my son 2x and we then had him live with my parents where he was very happy. Now we are back living with them and he is always stuck in a crate or gated area, which is just not fair to him. He also has developed skin issues since living here and we have yet to be able to get them under control. It appears to be yeast and I think with the right care it can get under control. We just do not have the time or resources to take care of it properly and be on top of it well enough. Opie has always been bad with resource guarding and can be temperamental. However, he loves my mom and has always been good with her. He really is a sweet boy just needs the right home to be happy and thrive.

Story
We are the second home of this 2 1/2 year old Female German Shepherd. She needs a job constantly. She wants to please but has a lot of anxiety. We have a 16 month old, 3 cats and another male German Shepherd - she attacks the cats and our male German Shepherd. Needs to be in a home with no dogs or cats - she is ok with our male but sometimes a switch flips. We hate to do this but we feel we are doing a disservice to her and want her to live a fulfilled life without being cooped up.

Story
Hades is a sweetheart that honestly deserves better than we can currently provide him. He is intelligent and energetic and would do best in an environment that allows him to explore and play more than ours allows. We got him in May and have had a myriad of life changes in that time including new jobs and schedules as well as an upcoming baby. I used to work 10 minutes from home and could visit every few hours but now am working an hour from home. With how busy our lives became it has been challenging to give him the attention and love he deserves. He has never been aggressive towards anyone but does like to chew things that he finds lying around unless instructed otherwise. He is good with other dogs as well as our kids but he forgets he is so big and jumps which can frighten people. We wish we could keep him but must re-home him ASAP. Preferably before the new baby arrives to ensure Hades receives the appropriate love and attention.
