Story

I adopted my dog, Belle, from the humane society in Jan. 2024. She was a gift for my daughter. Belle is kind, energetic, good with kids, other animals, and cuddly. This being said, she needs a wonderful home. We did have to potty train her ourselves (she is now) and still needs help learning commands. She enjoys walks and doest really pay attention to other dogs on walks. She has been around cats and other dogs, and does great. She also is good with kids.My boyfriend and I are splitting. I have signed my home over to him and am searching for my own home. Most places don't allow dogs or they have fees. I am staying with others and can't afford to have my dog or bring her with. He works long third shift hours and sleeps all day. He does not have the time for her. She needs a home that can love her and provide her with good exercise and has time for her. Shes sweet dog that needs a good family life. It is hard rehoming, but is in her best interest. She's spayed and vaccinated.

Size

(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)

Details

Not good with kids, Not good with dogs, House-trained, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

We are carefully searching for a loving, furever home for Zeus.My family took him in after his previous owners no longer wanted him and were keeping him outside without shelter.We also found out that as a younger puppy, he was accidentally injured and never received veterinary care at the time, so he walks a bit differently(with just one of his back legs), X-rays show nothing is dislocated.Zeus is a big, clumsy puppy lol. He resource guards food and bones, so he must be the only dog in the home. Zeus does well with older children and would thrive in a home with a large, securely fenced yard and committed adopters willing to help him continue building confidence.With the right support, he will be an incredibly loving and loyal companion. I am his current foster and he has shown great strides in coming out of his shell and is waiting for his furever home! Meet-and-greet required before the adoption. Born May 26, 2025. He must be neutered when he is 1yr old to help control the pet popula
