Story
We adopted him from Once Upon a Prayer Rescue in O'Fallon, IL. He is 4 years old. He is a very anxious dog and has a hard time just sitting next to us, but when he does it is so heartwarming. We did anxiety medicine for a bit to see if we noticed a change and we did, but we couldn't afford it anymore. If you have a front window, then he is constantly looking out it. He will bark at anyone who is walking in front of the house. You will always know when someone is here. LOL. He is an attention seeking dog. Loves to go on walks but doesn't like to be outside by himself in the backyard. If he gets out of the backyard, he will go to the front door and scratch at it because he can't stand to be away from you. Don't leave food out on counters or else he will jump up and snag it. He went to obedience school. He is a big dog but thinks he is a little dog which can be an issue with kids and cats.

Story
We took Sunny in as a puppy. She had been abandoned and we wanted to try to give her a good home. We already have a three year old Shiba Inu that would get along with other dogs so we thought it would be a good fit. After 6 months Sunny and our other dog do not get along. Sunny is a sweet natured dog, but she does not mix well with our other dog. And since we did not know how big Sunny was going to be when we took her in, she is now more than twice the size of our Shiba. This makes it that when she rough houses with the Shiba (as puppies do), the Shiba has gotten hurt more than once. It has also made training her very difficult. We have come to the realization that we are not the best home for Sunny. She is energetic, happy and good natured. We only want the best for her and hope that she goes to a loving family that is ready for her brand of energetic love.
