Story
Mia and Diamond are both 3 years old, they brought home by Angel's adult son, but she is the one taking care of them, the problem is I that now she has 2 jobs and she is out of the house more than 12 hours per day, in the mean time the dogs are alone in the house and because they don't have a fenced backyard, the dogs are always in the basement. By the time Angel gets home is dark and too late to walk them this is not fair for the girls, they need someone who has the time to walk them, taking outside to play and let them be dogs She would prefer if they keep together but if this is not possible, she is also ok whit them being separated The dogs are very friendly and never have shown any signs of aggression, Angel also has a 7 years old daughter and they play with her I am looking for what is best for the dogs, and I am just helping Angel Manor because it breaks my hear that the dogs are alone all the time. Thank you for your help

Story
I adopted Lucy when she was a little over one year old from the SPCA. Her birthday is 05/12/17. I recently had her dna tested and found out she’s 75% American staffordshire terrier, 12.5% golden retriever and 12.5% mix. I thought Lucy would be a great addition to give my other dog a friend. Unfortunately, after a little time together, Lucy started being aggressive and possessive towards him. I took her for training at Sit Means Sit. While it helped for awhile she does still show aggression towards him and I’m out of options. I believe she would benefit from being the only pet in a household and getting a lot of energy. Whoever had Lucy the first year of her life did not treat her right so she tends to be scared towards situations. This sweet girl needs someone patient to give her the best second chance of life. She is crate trained, house trained and knows basic commands.

Story
Jayda is a sweet, fun, gorgeous 10 year-old Siberian Husky that would be a wonderful dog for someone without other dogs in the home. She LOVES going for walks, learning tricks for treats, and just spending time around people. She is not good with other dogs, which makes it hard to find her another loving home with a dog lover! Although she hasn't indicated any issues with them yet, because of her bad history with dogs, we are concerned about how she would be with very young children and are hoping for a home without them to make sure this couldn't be an issue. We wish we could keep her, but we recently had a baby, and keeping Jayda apart from the baby out of an abundance of caution has made a situation where she isn't able to get the time that she deserves from us. She's wonderful with older children and adults, she's eager to please, active, well behaved, independent, and so sweet. She loves just relaxing with her people. We love Jayda and hope we find another good home that will too!
