Story
We are having a hard time letting our Allie girl go. Sadly we just don’t have the time for her that we used to with our children growing and getting into more activities. She does have sever separation anxiety which we have tried very hard working with her on. It has led to some doors being torn up. She escapes from every cage we have tried to put her in so vet and we agreed that it was best to leave her in the house. She is potty trained and can stay in the house for several hours by herself. She is terrified is storms. She does great with other dogs at daycare and is amazing with our two girls. I rescued her from a dog fighting group so she is afraid of some men but does well after she’s warmed up to them. Shes never been mean to a single person we have come across. She does get protective of me and the girls when we are out walking. She about 7 years old.

Story
You can fill out an adoption application online on our official website.Meet Rhea, a 14-year-old shepherd mix. She is needing to be rehomed because one of her owners has developed pretty severe dog allergies. Rhea is up-to-date on all her vaccines, and other than some arthritis, is in good health. Rhea is currently in a short term foster placement while her current owners look for a new forever home for her! Owners are willing to continue to pay for food and any veterinary expenses Rhea may need, and would like to still be allowed to visit her periodically. Rhea comes with her own bedding, hair brushes food and water bowls, and an assortment of fun toys! She loves to nap during the day, but also likes to go for short walks outside, and is a big fan of sitting and looking out windows! As a senior dog, she does need to go out more frequently than a young dog, but is house-trained. She is ok around other dogs and cats but it happier as an only pet.
