Story
We adopted Beth in August 2024. Since then, we have made numerous attempts to acclimate her to our two cats, but unfortunately without success. We followed all the guidance provided by our veterinarian, but nothing has worked. Beth has attacked both cats, injuring one, which has forced us to keep the cats confined to a spare room—an arrangement that isn’t ideal for anyone. Beth is wonderful with children and other dogs. She’s a big lap dog who loves to snuggle and be close to her people.

Story
Tyberius will be 6 years old in May, we got him shortly after getting married. He is extremely energetic and requires a lot of attention. He is very clingy and sometimes can also be needy. He likes to play rough. I have not had an issue with him being aggressive towards kids but, he does play too rough to be around smaller children. I am also unsure how he will behave with other animals. I have another dog that will be 8 years old in August that he is good with for the most part. When we have tried to introduce him to other animals he became aggressive like, not sure if it was because of the way that we did it or not. He was also run over by a car almost 3 years ago, he thankfully just rolled underneath and got scraps and cuts and the car tires didn’t actually run him over. He deals with dandruff and itchy skin as well. We can’t keep him because of continued housing issues with his breed and cost of care is too much. We are praying for a great family that can give him what he needs!

Story
I love my dog so much but mentally I cannot keep her anymore. She has medical issues that I cannot pay for. Vet visits are costly as well as her medications, vet says she has allergies. I have tried so many different types of food and medicines with nothing working. She also had a litter unexpectedly which drained her completely all puppies found a forever home but she is getting much worse. Her fur is missing in spot because she chews so badly and I want her to go to a good home who can take care of her so she stops hurting and itching all day long. I know she is miserable living this way I can't help anymore I am so broke trying to help her. She wears clothes well to help keep from itching. When she had puppies she would get into everything to eat even if it was not edible. She still gets into my trash if we are not watching her at every moment. I believe she had Pica but not for sure. I will try to keep doing the best I can until she has a good home. I love her so much! I hate this!

Details
Not good with dogs, Good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained,
Story
I am rehoming Nova because unfortunately she has had one too many incidents of aggression that has put a strain on me and my mother. She is absolutely a sweetheart she just has moments and is supremely scarred deeply it seems to me. We received Nova around August 2024 from one of my mothers associates due to their need for her to be watched over while they figured out their living situation briefly, over time we learned they would not be able to take her back so we have watched over her. There have been incidents with Nova of aggression towards people, other animals, and owners, which we cannot tolerate due to my mothers respite for her social work, with new people coming and going that have to be taken care of to a sense we cannot have any incidents with innocent people or pets. She lives with 2 cats and actually has a pleasant relationship with one of them however recently she lunged at both of them in the same day at separate times, under no provocation. She is very sweet though,
