Story

Rhys has been the best dog ever. We adopted her when she was 6 and she had some anxiety which we overcame. I recently moved to a condo which is all windows and right downtown so there are fireworks and gunshots and loud cars and she isn’t handling it well. She has been getting really anxious and started chewing up things to try to get to a hiding place. She has chewed through a gate trying to get out of an area and we are worried she will hurt herself. She is fine when there are not loud noises and during the day or when I am around. I have her on meds which helps. I can’t keep her because I live alone now and cannot be around enough for her. She needs a loving home with people who can be around more. We are heartbroken because she has been the most amazing member of our family. She likes to snuggle, is good with all dogs and other pets and kids. She doesn’t bark and has never had an accident on the house. She has just been scared lately and needs a loving family.
