Story
This funky little man is Leo. He is a happy, goofy boy who loves attention. Leo looks like a pit but short and long, which makes him even more lovable! He rolls around for pets and hugs and prefers to be a velcro dog 90% of the time. He is people-friendly and dog friendly. He would need to be tested with cats. Leo is right at 50lbs and is around 4 years old. He's hoping for someone who is active and is willing to work on leash manners and jumping.

Story
So I got Kobe from a dog trainer friend in the middle of the pandemic (February 2021) he might’ve been around 8-10 weeks old at the time. Since then he’s grown into a huge 80 pound baby dog who loves cuddles, kisses, playing fetch, and back leg scratches. Somewhat of a comedian too. I’ve taken him to the vet and they said he has a heart murmur that needs to be monitored regularly. He is not neutered, and he has a fear aggression towards other human adults. I’m looking to rehome him because I just moved from my family home into a small apartment by myself and it’s been really difficult for me to maintain his everyday care and needs. He might be better fit for an experienced big dog owner who has a family with a fenced in yard. He still needs training for the fear aggression but that’s pretty much it. He’s house trained, potty trained, knows commands like sit, stay, cage (crate), meal call etc…, Great with baths, walks, and small children.

Story
Nike Sinclair has front leg deformity in both limbs and requires a foster home in order for the rescue to start medical care. He needs to be seen by an Orthopedic Specialist to determine a diagnosis and prognosis on his limbs. Whether he has surgery or not, he will need to attend therapy and the foster will be taught how to do the therapeutic exercises at home for him. From what the shelter in Louisiana says, he is mobile, very friendly with dogs and people. He has not been neutered, but has been given his first round of vaccines. You must be "in it to win it" by fostering this dog. If you can foster please complete an application at www.k9ei.dog or email info@k9ei.dog to discuss.
