Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Ru is a 6-year-old female chigi (corgi/chihuahua mix). My son and I adopted her from the Humane Shelter. Ru has a microchip and she has been spayed. Ru is a very sweet dog who enjoys love and attention. She loves car rides, hikes, and long walks. Ru does not play with toys. Ru does not get along with some dogs, depending on the size of the dog she may bark. Ru is very protective of her family. Does not bark unless she senses a stranger at the door. Ru has always been the only pet in the home and gets along well with older children. We have to move and we cannot keep her with us, it saddens us to have to give her up. We hope she finds her forever home soon.

Story

My name is Luca, I am about 6 years old. My mom got me when I was a few months old from a neighbor who couldn't take care of me. At my new home I lived for a long time with my Doberman sister and Doberman brother. All was good for several years and then I got into 2 fights with my brother. I tried to beat him up and mom said I couldn't hang out with him anymore. Mom was able to keep me at our house, but I was really sad and needed more attention. So, mom found me a foster dad and that has been really awesome. I love hanging with him and his parrot, but my foster dad can't keep me anymore. It's time for me to find my forever home where I am the only dog, and there are no cats. I am super loving, gentle and easy-going. I rarely, rarely bark. I like to hang out in my indoor kennel or on a doggie bed, and I sleep in the kennel at night. I like to go on walks, but why exercise when you can nap! I like to play, but just for a few minutes a day. Mom says I'm really healthy.

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Needs special attention, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Gentleman was adopted to help my daughter with anxiety but I had no idea he also had anxiety and nothing has helped. My daughter is working on herself and is unable to care for him. I am unable to properly care for him because I’m always gone. I don’t want to take him to a shelter because he’ll be afraid and I can’t handle that. Also it’s been financially stressful for her to care for him.
