Story
This poor beautiful sad defeated dog is coming from Ohio to Virginia on a truck. He got the dog from someone he knows in Ohio who just literally wants the dog dead . I honestly don't know if this dog is aggressive or not she says yes and it apparently started when she was recently spayed which also has caused the dog to now be unhouse trained. I think all this baby needs is good training and vet care and lots of love but again I don't know if it's truly aggressive. There should be no kids or other pets. They want to shoot it or dump it at a truck stop or just dump at a vet and be put down. Please someone help this dog. You can just look at her and see how sad she looks. He said she hasn't been aggressive with him on the truck but she's terrified.

Story
Bailey is a wonderful dog!! He loves to play and is very in tune with my feelings. I thought he was going to be my forever dog but due to illness and sever allergies my daughter has developed I can no longer have pets. My heart is saddened by this. I desperately want to find my Lil guy a home but it definitely needs to be a home where he cab be free to roam and get all the love he deserves and needs. He loves giving attention and affection. He has been house broken since 6 weeks old. His birthday is August 11, 2020. He has a kennel and toys if needed to come with him. He loves soft comfy blankets. Those are his faves.

Story
Our dog is such a sweetheart, however, she is very particular about who she chooses. Most of the day she will sleep but has some fits of energy. She loves to go on walks and has some separation anxiety, especially during thunderstorms, where she just wants to be close to you. We rescued our dog as a puppy from a puppy mill where she was mistreated. She is currently 8 years old and, unfortunately, we have to rehome her. While she is a sweetheart most of the time, there are a few times where she can lash out when she is bothered too much, like if we mess with her paws, or try to groom her. Because of the random aggressions, dislike towards some people (we can't find a common cause), and my wife and I expecting a new baby, we are afraid the dog will be aggressive towards our baby. Plus, we have a plan to move overseas soon and cannot bring her. We really want her to go to a good and loving home where she can relax primarily on her own with no kids or other pets.
