Story
Nala is loyal, smart and loving. She has severe anxiety and needs that need to be met without other dogs. She is great around our toddlers and always has been. We are just unable to give her the divided attention she needs without having our other dogs/children around. We want to make sure she goes to a loving home and will help with rehoming process whether it’s buying her food or toys for the next few months!

Ashford is a handsome sweet dog. Athlete for sure. He thinks he is a superstar when playing ball and soccer. He love to go on walks and hikes. I got him as a puppy of 2 1/2 months old, he is currently 13 months old. He came from my cousin who had an unexpected litter. His mom's name is Scooby and she is a Mastiff mix and Father full blood German shephard. I have chronic lyme and almost 60 years old and it is difficult for me to be a proper mom to this big guy. I am unable to work right now and do not have the strength to take care of him. I would love for him to find a home with a family or a hiking person. He loves people, especially men, and other dogs. He loves the dogpark and to play. He needs a home with an active person. He does not bark incessantly and is really a good watchdog. Please help me rehome my handsome Ashford. His belonging go with him. 2 bed cots 3 bed mattresses Xlarge igloo doghouse Xlarge metal crate Toys 50 lbs of food, toys, etc. Questions welcome.
