Story
Wallace is a good boy. We have had him for about 6-7 years. My son moved out to college and Wallace has gotten out a few times. We love him, but I work too much and my better half has health issues and can't wrangle the pup if he gets outside. He is healthy. He had a hot spot under his ear about 3-4 years ago, but that's it. He loves playing catch and is a good walking companion.

Story
Katie is almost 7 years old, having spent her first 6 years in a puppy mill. She will require a human with patience and gentleness as sudden noises put her on alert. A home far away from fireworks would be best. She is fostered in a home with both dogs and cats & gets along with all.Earning her trust is not an immediate event, but once you do, she will want to be by your side nearly all the time. Her favorite place to eat is next to her human. As well as sleeping in the same bed."Outside" is becoming more familiar and knows doing her business outside makes her human happy. She also uses the pads inside and her groomer describes her as "a very good girl".Even though she hasn't really figured out "toys" yet, she is very treat motivated.She is being fostered in Hammond IndianaApply to adopt at nbstr.org
