Story
Rufis is a great dog but unfortunately my schedule is far too busy to give him the attention he deserves. He does great in our home which consists of a lot of family and small kids. I've never had an issue with him being aggressive with my kids and my 2 year old can be a little crazy but he handles it all. He is potty trained and will let you know when he needs to go, only thing is if he isn't let out when he needs to go, like i.e. you go to work and leave him inside he will not hold it until you're home, he will go inside but he deff will let you know if you're home. He will walk on a leash with you, he's not aggressive towards other dogs when walking with him. Honestly he is a great dog, I sometimes want to just keep him but I feel horrible that he gets no attention or the walks he needs. Hopefully he can find a loving home.

Story
We have a beautiful shar-pei/terrier(maybe pointer) mix. Not sure entirely, we adopted her a few years back. We love her dearly and we are heartbroken to have to make this decision. We want her to go to a loving home, She is the sweetest loving dog. However, she belongs in a single dog home. She is high energy and doesn’t understand boundaries with other dogs. I cannot say enough about how great she is with people and her owners but over the years she and our other dog have gotten into a couple scuffles. Nothing too serious, but we have to make this hard decision to ensure it doesn’t continue.
