Story
Zeus absolutely needs to go to a home with no other dogs. Fully potty trained. Working on crate training. Ideal home for Zeus: • He should not go to a home with small children. • He would do well in a home with a secure, fenced yard where he can play safely. • He thrives on affection and would make a great companion for someone who can provide him with both activity and cuddle time. He must also be neutered when he reaches 1 to 1 1/2 old. I will require that a contract is in place to make sure this happens because of the overpopulation of animals.

Story
This is Luna. I really want what is best for her! I adopted her out to a friend and found out they were neglecting her and no longer wanted her. I went and picked her back up. She was severely under weight and full of fleas! I immediately got her treatment from the vet and she has fully recovered. She doesn't do well with men and I feel that maybe she was hit by a man by the other people so she must go to a home where the FEMALE WILL BE THE MAIN CARETAKER. I feel bad but I am still unable to keep her as I don't have a place to live. I do not want her to go to the humane society and sit in a cage until someone wants to adopt her. My grandmother has her at her house right now but she already has a dog of her own and cannot take on another one. My dog and her dog do get along very well. I would like to adopt her out to a stable family so she doesn't get bounced around. She does have anxiety when left alone so prefer she goes to a home where she doesn't have to be caged very often.
