Story
I adopted Rio about 2 years ago from Halo animal shelter. I live alone and work a very busy schedule. It pains me to have to rehome him, but I believe that Rio would be much happier in a home with someone/people who are able to provide him with more play time, interaction and even just cuddles. Rio is a very sweet, loving doggo. He is very calm but will get in his playful moods. He’s a little dopey, in a very cute way. He is gentle and will be friends with anyone or any dog, as long as they are nice to him!

Story
Selling my sweet, all black purebred German shepherd. She is an outside dog and although she is very sweet, she does tend to nip and can be overprotective. Never was sure how to properly train her. She was born on October 28, 2016 and I have all her paperwork. She has had some shot records but hasn’t been to the vet in a long time. I am not able to care for her and would love to give her up to a caring home that can properly take care of her.

Story
Achilles is a 1 year 8 month old German Shepherd/Husky mix with heterochromia. He has been a wonderful dog to raise from a puppy to his young adult life with undying loyalty to me as his owner. He’s extremely intelligent, and great with other people. The only reason I am giving him up is because he developed territorial dominance over my stuff and his food with my sister, which escalated into a bite. This was his first time biting someone, and he’s played with countless strangers, children, etc. He’s truly a great dog, but would need a home that is single person, or multi-person with each person building a proper bond with him so he doesn’t feel like he’s competing for resources. He’s a strong willed dog, but he has amazing qualities. He knows sit, down, stay, come, paw, other paw, and jump up for a treat. I know he’ll do great with someone capable of putting in the time and effort for his training.

Melbourne, FL
Size
(when grown) Small 25 lbs (11 kg) or less
Details
Good with kids, Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
I adopted Max back in February 2024 from this website. He is such a sweet pup but he would be better in a home with no other pets. He needs updated shots and he is soon to turn 5 years old! I believe with the right training he could be good with other pets but I am also a mom to my other older dachshund and he doesn’t get along with him. We tried our own training techniques but believe I am not home enough to implement them enough. It saddens me to see him go but believe he needs to be put in a more safe environment for him and his family. I am asking a rehoming fee of $200 that will include all of his items, treats, food and bed. Please message me to meet this handsome boy.
