Story
Maggie is so friendly (too friendly according to some of my friends lol). She is beautiful and everyone who meets her says so. She is definitely a dog for dog lovers. She is 4 years old. My ex and I got her after COVID to entertain our other dog. But after my divorce she was supposed to go with her but she didn't take her. I think she would be a perfect dog with a little training, love, and attention. Just with our kids, busy schedule, and not being the most attentive dog owners her behaviors such as jumping on guests, begging for food, barking when not needed, and fighting with our other dog for food has us realize that someone new might give her the attention she needs more than us.

She loves car rides and leads well. Meisha needs room to run, she is very active and needs one on one attention.

Story
Daisy was left at the end of our church camp road last July with her sister who has found her furever home. We just do not have the means to keep her safe. She likes to run and we do not have a fenced in yard. I cannot have shedding dogs in the house anymore. She has went to the door and scratched if she needed out, but she has had some accidents mostly because someone did not take her out in time. She is very sweet, but not the brightest dog. I hate to put this, but she likes to chew...anything and everything. This is why I think she would do better in a fenced in area probably chain-link. She likes to pester our cats, but has never hurt them. She is spayed and UTD on vaccinations, but may have some due around July or August. I will need to check her paperwork. Overall, I think she is just bored. We come and go a lot and do not have the time to spend with her for playing or training.
