Story
We are devastated to have to rehome our beautiful 6 y/o havanese/cavalier King Charles, Sasha. She weighs about 15 lbs. We rescued her at 1 y/o. She is very sweet and cuddly and loves attention once she is comfortable with you, but does not like to be picked up. Unfortunately, she has some behavioral issues. We had gotten to a point where her aggressive side was manageable, but the unpredictability of our small children just makes this a bad environment for her. She will bite. She is very smart and trainable. She graduated from a board and train program at Sit Means Sit and can go back anytime for free group lessons. Sadly, she also has a bad back. This has been manageable with monthly Adequan injections, medication, and monthly chiropractic visits, but costs us about $180 a month. Please consider saving this beautiful baby!

Story
I adopted Molly on May 1, 2021. She is a Pitbull mix and weighs 67 lbs. She has severe separation anxiety and I almost cured her of that by taking a towel, wiping it all over me and she sleeps with it, along with stuffed duck. She is very lovable and loves to be snuggled. However, we found out this past two weekends that she cannot be around small children. My children came home from the military after three years away, with a 6 and 3 year old, Molly was very aggressive towards the children and wouldn't back down. She can only be in a home where there are no children. We thought that if we let her be with them with their dad, she would calm down and it made the situation such that she went for the baby's face. I called the sheriff department and they told me that I had to rehome her. I cannot have them in danger.

Rambo is a very sweet dog that just does not play well with other dogs. Some trouble pulling on leash. Well crate trained. Just don't have the appropriate time to spend with him so he's by himself for ~10-12 hrs a day.

Story
Ares is a sweet boy who just turned 3 years old. He isnt great with dogs he doesnt know and he would need plenty of time to try to warm up to an unknown dog. He also isnt great with strangers. He is high energy and needs exercise quite often. I am trying to rehome him because my wife and I just had a baby and he isnt bad with the baby by any means but he is just really strong and doesnt know his own strength. My wife and I are always on edge because of this and now that we are both putting so much time into the baby, we barely have enough time for ARES anymore. He deserves a life where he can get more consistent exercise and in my current situation, he cant get that. He needs an owner that has plenty of time to dedicate to him without other dogs around. He is very affectionate and sweet. He is potty trained and does well on walks usually.
