Story
rehoming my dog, Scrappy Doo. Scrappy is a three-year-old pup. He is generally quiet lives fruit melon for sure yummy , but he has been showing increasing signs of aggression toward small children and is not comfortable around male figures. We recently had new additions to our household — my mother and my baby boy — and despite my efforts to work with him and give him time to adjust, his behavior has become unsafe for our family environment. I was informed that he experienced abuse in his previous home, and I truly believe this has affected his trust and reactions. I want to make sure he is placed somewhere experienced and appropriate where he can receive the right care and setting for his needs.

Tony is almost 2 years old and he is looking for a home with a backyard for him to play in because he loves running around. I like playing with random toys, but I like to destroy my toys. Tony loves attention and just wants to be loved and cared for. Tony is very active, loyal, friendly, and lovable. Tony is also crate trained, but likes to pull when walked on the leash. We just want Tony to be in a loving home with a yard that has time for him.

Story
Lily was adopted when she was about 4 months old from Austin Animal Center. It was not until we got home and spoke with a Vet that she was diagnosed with nerve damage to her rear end. The issues are that only about 1/4 of her tail functions, and she has gut issues. She is currently on medication to keep her stool firm and to avoid accidents. She also wears a diaper while on the furniture and overnight, this is purely precautionary. She is about 1 year old now and is super sweet! She is low maintenance and does very well when she is home alone. She is the perfect cuddle dog and will give all the love back to you that you give her! We are looking to rehome her only because our changing jobs and schedules, she would have a better life with people able to spend lots of time with her and other pack mates if you have them.
