Story
there is a rehoming fee of $1,000. The website won’t let me edit the adoption feeRue - comes with akc papers and up to date on her shots. She will be due for her next round in November.Our schedule has become very busy. She’s house broken, create trained and can do the basic commands like sit, paw and come. She’s still a puppy and I would say 90% house broken. She’s been around other dogs, cats and 4 kids and never had a problem.

Story
IVANKA 🩷🐾Please meet Ivanka — 35 pounds of low-rider perfection with a tongue that occasionally forgets to go back inside. 😂Ivanka is about 6 years old, possibly a Pocket Bully, and quite frankly we’re struggling to identify her flaws. Dogs? Yep. Cats? Yep. People? Absolutely. House trained? Of course she is. Excessive barking? Ivanka simply does not have time for that nonsense.Her interests are those of a woman who has reached a certain age and knows exactly what she wants: good food, warm sunshine, a comfortable place to sleep and people who don’t create unnecessary drama. 😂She loves lounging outside in the sun and is equally happy snoozing in her dog bed — although if there’s room in yours, she sees absolutely no reason why the two of you should be sleeping separately.And girlfriend likes to EAT. Ivanka has never met a meal she felt needed further consideration.She’s sweet, easygoing, affectionate and ridiculously lovable. At 6 years old, she’s also past the puppy nonsense. No potty-training negotiations. No tiny land shark phase. No waking up wondering which household object was sacrificed overnight.Just 35 compact pounds of certified good girl — complete with a little tongue, tiny underbite and a face that has absolutely no business being this cute. 😭😂Honestly, Ivanka’s perfect home is pretty simple: somewhere she’s loved, well fed, allowed to sunbathe like a tiny hippo and given a comfy place to rest that preferably contains at least one human.📍 Jackson, WI🐾 Approx. 6 years | 35 lbs🐶 Pocket Bully🏡 House trained🐕 Dog friendly | 🐈 Cat friendly | ❤️ People friendly💰 Adoption Fee: $450Professional sunbather. Enthusiastic eater. Part-time tongue model. Full-time angel. 😂🩷🐾 Apply ➜ BiggiePawsRescue.orgDATCP # 494550
