Story
Rooney is a good boy who just needs some good TLC from his owner. He knows lots of tricks, and even understands some commands in Spanish. He loves having his belly rubbed, and his ears scratched, just like any dog. He's been in my in-law's family all his life, however, due to them moving out of the country, he needs to find a new home. He is not aggressive, does really well with visitors and strangers, and he is gentle and playful with kids. He is fully housebroken, does not chew on anything other than his toys (which he loves and carries around with pride), and loves to go on short walks. He will be a great addition to anyone looking for a companion who really doesn't require a ton of exercise or very intense playtime.

Story
NOT a PUPPY 7 years. He is an aggressive dog that was probably severely abused. He is affectionate and loyal when he gets to know you, loves to play, and is a great protector. He is originally from Woods. I have had 2 personal trainers and he has been through 3 classes (he did extremely well) He is VERY VERY smart and loves to play. He LOVES water to the point where he will try to beat you into the shower to "bite the water" I got him a kiddie pool to play in. He also has a canvas crate. He is one of the most beautiful dogs ever and people constantly stop me to take pictures. He is so cute people want to pet him but he is too protective to let anyone near.Someone trained him before I got him (I am guessing livestock?) but he really just wants to be with his person. I can't trust him off leash although he LOVES to run. He needs socializing. He is food motivated. He is NOT good with other animals needs love,patience, but bonded with me. I would never give him up but he deserves more!!

Story
I’m rehoming my boxer. Wiz is 9 years old and despite being a senior still has a lot of energy, and is very strong. He is not neutered. I will also provide his kennel, it is huge. It fits both, they are use to kenneling . He does have separation anxiety. He is an inside dog, and have never lived outside or leashed outside. He does listen when you instruct them to move out of the way, or back up, go eat,off.Text for more info.

Story
We adopted the dog from a local shelter. She is 6 years old and is gentle with children and doesn’t really bark. Her previous owner was a retired person who was home frequently. Eventually he got sick and had to surrender the dog (and her brother). We are not home very much during the day and this is difficult for the dog (she shows signs of separation anxiety like howling). She would do best in a home where someone is home during the day to be with her. She is well house trained, and she know many commands. She loves fetching balls and chewing on them, but doesn’t really chew on other things. She is generally gentle but doesn’t like tall men in hats and doesn’t like men/boys with their feet crossed on an ottoman (these are the only times we’ve heard her bark. She doesn’t even bark at other dogs).

Story
Hhhh-hi, my name is Warcester. I'm one incredibly cute, scruffy dog that is looking for a loving home that will be extremely patient with me. I'm a very shy dog that must have gone through something pretty rough before coming to Woods because I'm quite fearful of new situations, new people, and new environments. I'm currently looking for a home with my brother, Scottsdale. He's more social then I am and I tend to follow in his footsteps and get close to people. I have that independent personality where I just like to follow my brother around and hang out. I'm a bit fearful when it comes to being touched still but I'm hoping that we will find that loving person that will give me the time to adjust and feel truly comfortable. It's going to take time but once I make those big steps, it will be so rewarding knowing that you took the chance on me to give me a second chance. So, what do you say? Could you be the kind soul we've been hoping for? Primary Color: Black Secondary Color: Tan Weight: 19.3 Age: 1yrs 9mths 1wks
