Story

Hello. I adopted Max a few months ago. He is well behaved, loveable, good with kids, potty trained, loves to play catch. As much as I want to keep him, I unfortunately cannot due to my youngest new allergy symptom to dog hair. This is something that I was not aware of. It’s a tough decision for me to make since Max has become part of our family. I would love to see him go to a loving home as he does not deserve to live in a shelter.

Story

Roxy is a 5 year old female German shepherd. I got her 5 years ago, not knowing the maintenance I would have to keep up with on her. I am looking to re-home her to a good, loving family. She is a really good dog but I nor my family can keep up with the maintenance of her & we do not have much time for her. She is very smart, she learns fast & is very active. She has somewhat been around dogs for the past few years & she’s more friendly with male dogs than female dogs. She is house trained & very protective. She really is a good dog but it is unfair to her for us to keep her & not take care of her the way we’re supposed to & that is why we’re looking to re-home her.

Story

Fostering in Pittsburgh, PA - transport available to her perfect person! 2 years old, 45 lbs, spayed female UTD on vaccines, microchipped, & on monthly heartworm/flea/tick preventatives ✅ Good with men & women ✅ Good with older children ✅ Good with other dogs (requires a companion) ✅ Good with cats - housetrained - crate-trained; does not need to be crated, but needs a crate available as a safe space - shy with new people and takes a while to warm up; once she knows you, she is a sweetheart who will seek affection gently (licks your hand and wags her tail) - no small children as they are too much for her while adjusting to a new environment - will bark and retreat to her crate when unknown (to her) visitors come to your home - Relies heavily on other dogs when adjusting to change or interacting with something/someone new so she will require a confident canine companion - occasionally plays with the other dogs but is low energy herself and prefers dogs who are not constantly in her face seeking interaction - neutral with our cats and doesn't mind them sitting on the leather chair with her or grooming her coat - loves toys and will carry them around the yard or to her crate, she'll tell you she loves plush toys but she will also promptly tear them apart - walks well on leash when accompanied by a person & dog she trusts. Leashes/collars were a foreign concept to her when she arrived and it took her a while to be comfortable with them so she will likely regress a bit with a new family until trust is built. She still gets nervous at times but recovers quickly. She will now go to the door to be leashed with loose body language & a wagging tail when her collar is put on - will require a secure, physically fenced yard *Andy takes daily fluoxetine to help her manage her anxiety. It is about $20 every 2-3 months.*

Size

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

I am moving back to Chicago for a job and need to rehome my dog Presley. I want to find him a home that he can thrive in with daily walks, exercise and a backyard because he deserves that and if I could provide him with that I would not be considering this. It breaks my heart but if I can find him the right home then it would be selfish of me to not give him that opportunity to thrive in a better living situation. - Age: Almost 2 years old (will turn 2 on May 10th) - Weight: around 75 lbs - He loves people, especially kids! - Good with other dogs would recommend larger dogs around his size or larger. - He loves to snuggle up at night (Big cuddler!) He knows basic commands like heal, sit, down, and stay and is fully housebroken. He loves car rides and going on runs! He also is trained to run on a doggy treadmill. I’d like to be able to still see him or have updates on him and would also be willing to watch him for free whenever new owners would go out of town or something.
