Story
We adopted Gus at Love at First Sight when he was 11 weeks old. He’s a good boy, great with other dogs and kids. But he is very anxious and so is our other dog. He makes her anxiety worse than it was before. We just can’t give him what he needs anymore and he deserves better. He is so good with our 3 year old daughter. He most likely needs to be an only dog because of his anxiety.

Story
Found this puppy one morning. Looked and looked for her owner. Made many FB posts and went door to door, and nothing. She is a sweet puppy with lots of energy. We cannot keep her because we already have a dog and can only have one dog at our home. A little bit about Sid: -Her name came from the movie Ice Age, from the character "Sid", due to her wide-set eyes. -Some odd things about her is; she really likes socks as toys and likes to chew on rocks and eat leaves. -She is a velcro dog and likes to be right with you when she gets a toy. -Sid is not completely potty-trained, yet! She is doing much better and just needs more time and patience. She has started doing to door time to time when she needs to go out. -She really likes our large dog and loves to wrestle with him. -She has been doing well off-leash, too, when taken outside. -Sid is doing really well in the crate, too!
