Story
About one-year-old. He is a total complete lover. He is well behaved. I want his owner to be someone who loves to walk their dog once or twice a day. Who gives him exercise, discipline, then affection. He gets along with all other animals. The problem is we have an old lady pitbull and she does not get along with other dogs or any other animals. This boy is a total sweetheart and will make a great indoor family pet. We will miss him dearly

Story
We got Roxy when she was a little over 8wks. My family got her brother, Creed from a person on Craigslist. He was such a sweet puppy, my sister-in-law and niece, who live next door, picked Roxy the next day. Because of my sister-in-law’s work schedule, she was unable to keep Roxy and we couldn’t bear for Creed and Roxy to be separated. They continue to be inseparable. Although being much smaller, Roxy is a little more bossy of the two; and definitely loves to eat. She enjoys rough housing with her brother.

Story
Our family got Creed when he was about 8 weeks old from an add on Craigslist. The very next day, my sister-in-law and niece got Roxy, his sister. Every day when my sister-in-law would go to work, Roxy spent the day with Creed. Due to my sister-in-law’s work schedule, Roxy came to live with us. The two continue to be Inseparable. Creed is the larger of the two, and definitely is the most active. He is extremely smart. He needs more room and exercise than we can give him, in order for him to be happy and less mischievous . He is extremely sweet and tolerant. He does have a stubborn streak. He absolutely loves to play fetch and to roughhouse with his sister.
