Story
We got Ottis when he was just 5 weeks old from a rescue situation. At the time my fiancée was not working and was home with him constantly. Now that we both have jobs he has shown signs of separation anxiety and other behavioral issues. If we are gone more than ah hour he tries to get out of the house/yard. This includes damaging the door and window frames to try and break free. We have tried kennel training and having him on a lead in the yard but he breaks out/off and escapes if left outside. He is our baby and we absolutely hate having to do this but I feel like we have no other option and I really don’t want to surrender him to a shelter.

Story
Bailey is a very sweet and active dog. She needs a lot of attention and definitely would need another fur buddy to play with. Loves to play fetch, go on truck rides and walks. She is over 4 years old and was a rescue. Circumstances have changed and i dont have the time to give her the attention she needs. Has recent shots and just had her groomed. i have all her records on hand.

Story
Nano has a lot of energy which will make him fit better in a family that has kids and atleast another dog. He is young which means he needs a lot of attention since he likes to play a lot. I began to train him to potty on pads not long ago he sometimes misses but he is getting the hang of it. I also started training him on how to stay and sit with treats he needs a little bit more practice tho. He can be an inside or outside dog. Is pictures it looks like he will grow bigger but he is actually on his full grown size already it says it in his name, Nano, it comes from a Spanish word enano which in English is meant for dwarf. He is a lovely dog if I could keep him I would but I'm moving into an apartment and they don't accept pets even tho if they did I wouldnt have time to spend with him since I have work and I'm a full time student in college.

Story
We acquired Sparky at the animal shelter about six months ago. He is about 2 yrs old. He is a very loyal, protective, and very loving dog. We are feeling overwhelmed with having him as well as young kids, something we didn't expect. When around other dogs, he barks and lunges, but once he smells the other dog, he is friendly. We feel he would do best in a house with a yard. We love in an apartment and it is hard for him sometimes. Sparky is a cute, loyal dog that would love somebody that can give him the love and attention he needs!
