Story
Teeter is from Rio's first and only litter of pups. She was born in February 2022 and is a great dog. She is laid back, sweet, gentle, loving, basically the opposite of Rio. Our only complaint about Teeter is that she likes to dig holes in the yard. We would love to see them adopted together! They get along great and would probably do best if they were the only dogs. We hate to keep both dogs in their kennels all day while we are at work, but we live in town and cannot keep them outside all day. We would love to see them go to a farm where they can run free or go to a home where they can be inside dogs. Our lifestyles have just become too busy to give them the proper attention and love they deserve.

Rio

Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
We purchased Rio through a local breeder in October 2019. She is Teeter's mom and we would love to see them get adopted together. Rio is very high strung / high energy and is a good dog, but we do not feel right about having to keep them both in their kennels all day long while we are at work. We live in town and cannot keep them outside all day. Rio can be very territorial and hates rain and storms and is a big baby when it comes to thunder. She loves to bark at the wind as well! Ideally, we would love to see them both get adopted by someone with a farm where they can run and be free or even someone who would want to keep them indoors. I feel they would thrive in either environment. We are also not able to exercise either of them like we should, so that would be a plus to find someone who can provide regular exercise. We want them to find a home where someone has the time to devote to them because they deserve a better home than what we are able to provide.
