Story
I found Walnut when he was about 8 weeks old. When I first brought him home, he was nice and got along with our other dogs. Eventually, my mom brought home Quinny and they stuck together like glue. This bond happened between them and they are inseparable. However, since this happened, Walnut has become agressive and overprotective. He usually just barks at unfamiliar faces or people who come into the house. He doesn’t get into fights with other dogs.

Story
I rescued Ruca from a lake parking lot, she had looked abandoned. After listing her on Facebook as lost, no one claimed her as theirs. I decided to take her home as she was very sweet and nice. Ruca is sweet and loving, and also a major cuddler. She will take any opportunity she can to cuddle and slepp next you you wether it is on the bed, couch and next to your feet. She can also be a goofball, which she often brings lots of laughs. For her new home, I would like it to have a backyard that she would be able to run around. Ruca also loves to play with other dogs, so a companion would be best as well. I would like for her home to have someone who can be home often with her to give her lots of love and attention.
