Story

Willow was found a few weeks ago in a parking lot, and brought to my family. At first she was scared, but quickly took to my mom and I. She has been hesitant around men, but has responded well to a few. Since the moment she entered the home she has been terrified of my dad, and has begun to act aggressive towards him, no matter what we try. She has responded well to other dogs, children, and responded well to cats. Other than some men she hasn’t shown aggression in any way. We believe whoever had her originally was abusive. She does startle easily to sudden noises and movements. She likes to play bite, and we’ve been trying to fix this habit. Mostly she is a calm dog who enjoys laying on chairs, playing with her favorite toys, and having no boundaries when it comes to personal space. Once she likes you she’ll cuddle up with you. We don’t want to rehome her, but she isn’t happy here like we hoped. Both my parents are disabled and the care she needs we can’t provide.

Story

Very, very timid girl. I have a shepherd too and she clings to him but he bullys her and makes her stay away from people. I think she would do best as an only pet. She is so sweet when he's not around. She is a digger and chewer when bored but a good bone helps. She was a rescue.

Story

Wonderful dog. I love him so very much. It was just me and my daughters but now I've gotten a partner and his son and they've moved in and he's having a very hard time adjusting to men. He is trained a bit. Loves to play and loves his treats. He is truly the goodest boy and very loved. I've been his only owner, I got him at 12wks from a close friend.
