Best most loyal dog I've ever had. I want to keep him more than anything he is my soul..but I can't afford a kennel till I find a new place to live and can't keep living in my truck with him.he needs a family or couple that don't have lots of traffic. He is protective. Thinks he is a lapdog he wants nothing more then to lie with u and be loved on does well outside unchained wont run off and great in a cage long as he can see u.. pretty much needs someone that he will always be able to be with

Story
We adopted Sig 2 years ago in Georgia. He is a laid back dog who enjoys laying around the house and roaming around a yard. He had been great with our child and other animals, but unfortunately we are renting a much smaller place that does not have much of a yard and my wife and I work odd hours that make it difficult to give him the attention he deserves.

Story
Milo is 4 years old. He is a dachshund mix, but not sure his other breed, maybe a terrier. Milo and his dad Scrappy, a full blooded dachshund senior, are inseparable so please know this, and you can find Scrappy here on adopt a pet. Our family adopted Milo and Scrappy from a Humane Society 2 years ago. Milo and Scrappy were surrendered by their owner due to being homeless and a very cold winter. He is one of the best dogs we've ever had and if it were not for my husbands very sensitive allergies, we would keep him, but I've put rehoming off long enough. He loves to play ball and will fetch 24/7 if allowed. He is a bit timid and takes a while to warm up to, especially young children. He has never bitten to my knowledge. He is a fantastic companion and loves to hang out wherever we go. Rides in cars very well. Milo needs a grain free diet and good nutrition for his skin health, and does have an eye that often will tear and drip. Not sure what that is all about. Any questions, please ask.

Story
Remy was adopted, along with her sister-Holly, as a puppy in Texas in 2011. She was born in July 2011. She is an absolute sweetheart. She is a kind, loving, loyal pup. She is great with kids and people. She loves tennis balls and belly rubs. Remy does have some anxiety while she walks and barks at other animals (big bark). If given the time and effort to ease her in, she can get along with other animals. But, she uses her bark to sound big and bad. Since she is getting older, she has started to get grumpy with her sister. They fought as puppies to determine which sister would be the dominant one. She was always the submissive one. As of lately, she has been trying to establish her dominance over her sister and has picked fights. We have two small children, so we have been nervous that she may forget that she loves them and will do something rash. She never has, but we are taking precautions. Also,we cannot give her and her sister the time they deserve for walks, play time, etc.

Story
Holly is a sweet pup! We adopted her in Texas after she was born in July 2011. We adopted her sister, Remy, as well. Holly LOVES people, walks (great walker-not a barker), runs and playing fetch. Holly loves to have one ball in her mouth (or stick) as you throw another ball for her sister. She just chases her sister around as Remy actually retrieves the ball. She loves her family and our children. She is SO SMART, kind and aware. She isn't very cuddly but loves belly rubs and playing games. Holly has always had her eye on being the dominant one in any animal situation. She has never gotten along with any other animal other than her sister. Even then, she growls at Remy when she sits infront of her own food bowl. They have gotten into a few dominance battles lately, so we are concerned that one of our kids may get into the middle of it and get hurt. We know she'd never hurt either of them intentionally. She's always been their "Nanny Dog," but we don't want to chance it.
