Story
*CONGENITAL HEART DEFECT* *By appointment only Hi, I’m Cholula or Lula for short! I was born with a heart defect, specifically Mitral Valve Dysplasia. I will need to go to a veterinary cardiologist every 3 to 6 months for an echocardiogram to track the progression of my heart disease, and I will need to be on heart medications for the rest of my life. There is no cure and my lifespan will be significantly decreased as I will eventually progress into congestive heart failure. Adding me as a member of your family will be expensive, but I’m worth it! ♡ My foster mom says I’m the cutest little puppy and I’m very calm for my age. I like to observe what’s going on around me, and I love to chew on toys. I enjoy short play sessions outside and get mini zoomies. ♡

Story
Bruce is a sweet, sweet 4 year old boy and re-homing him is not an easy choice for our family. He is an adventurous boy who loves to snuggle and definitely thinks he’s a small dog, wanting to sit directly on top of you. He needs a big backyard and active family. He would do best being an only dog with older children. He is up to date on shots and freshly groomed. Bruce has some serious food aggression. He has never bitten but has gotten more and more aggressive as time goes on. This was not disclosed to us when we adopted him and we’ve tried to make it work/rectify the behavior. Unfortunately, he has been snapping at our young kids. We have two dogs. He gets along amazing with one - not so much with the other. He may do well with one other dog, but believe he’d be best as an only dog. The re-homing fee is just to make sure we have a serious and good family. He deserves the very best and we owe it to him to make sure he gets that.

Story
    This is Diego. He's an 11 month old Aussie mix that needs a foster home. He was a "free dog" online and the original owners did not represent him honestly with the new owners. Things are not working out and he needs to be properly placed (after full vetting). He is scheduled dor neuter on Tuesday. We hope to have a foster in place by then. He's great with his people and FEMALE dogs. His behavior around cats is unknown because the family does not have cats. There was a pretty bad fight between Diego and the senior male dog in this family. Since the fight the family has been distrusting of his behavior around the four-year-old as well so to be safe they have kept them separate. This is why he has to go. For this reason, we do not want him fostered with male dogs until he has been vetted and properly evaluated. We also do not feel that he should be placed in a home with young children until vetting and evaluation. He's a beautiful boy and deserves a happily ever after. We can help him find it!! It may well be he just needs his testosterone to be taken care of. Many dogs settle down after neuter and it's never fair to these animals when the original owners do not divulge all the information to the new owners. We feel this is a combination of situations that has just worked against Diego. Foster application can be filled out through this link: https://petstablished.com/foster_form/31711/generic If you fill out a foster application please give our director a heads up as we do not have a volunteer readily responding to applications at this time. It helps us to know that one has been submitted. You may text Aspen at 352-843-6858 ##1357659##
