Story
Boba has been with our family since her puppy years however our new babies seem to have an allergy of her fur along with other health issues. We will also be moving overseas soon in which she would need to partake in a several month quarantine. She is very adaptable however does stress immensely in situations such as that. Instead of having her suffer through I’d rather her go to a new family who can love her immediately. Her short life should be surrounded in love and not stress. She will be six in September. She’s a cuddle bug, lazy, a guard dog, she’s quite independent as well. She loves to play but also love to lay in the sun. She’s friendly with other dogs, babies and children. She hasn’t been around cats but from her temperament, I’m sure it would not be an issue. Please message if you have any questions or feel like Boba would be a great addition to your family.

Good with kids, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Frank is 2 years old. He is very sweet. Loves children and is very loyal. He is not good with cats, and we are unsure about other dogs. He likes our senior dog but he’s been around her since he was a puppy. He tends to bark at other dogs through the fence. He is house trained and up to date on shots. However, he could use some leash training. He is very shy on a leash! He does get very nervous. Frank is a great dog though! We are rehoming due to not being able to give him all the time he deserves.
