Story
In September of 2018, Grizzly was born in my home. I had fostered his mother who gave birth to a litter of 8 puppies. Grizzly was born fifth and came out much larger than his littermates, looking like a grizzly bear compared to them, hence, the name, and it stuck. He is mild mannered and loves to be with his people, which makes this a sad decision for me, but he will do better with a family or person that can be with him more, spend more time engaged with him (perhaps walks), and in a home that doesn't have so much activity going on in and around it, as he can be a bit anxious.

Chapel Hill, NC
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
She is a chocolate lab mix (not sure what she is a mix of). She is 8 years old and spayed. She does not like other animals, so needs to be the only pet. We have been going through some rough times over the past 2 years and cannot find a place to stay that allows dogs. I have listed her good qualities and what she needs help on below. I want to find her a good home. She is a sweet girl and making sure she has a good home is important to me. Pros: Loves to give kisses, belly rubs, bubbles, playing fetch with tennis balls, she will play a little soccer too. She also loves to ride in the car. She knows the commands to sit, stay and drop it to drop her ball. She is a great guard dog as she will bark if someone comes to the door. She is fully house trained. Needs Help: She has issues with strangers until she is properly introduced. She pulls when on walks and has leash aggression. This is a training issue and if you are patient, she can be broken of it.

Story
BRANDI is ready for her forever home! She is about 72LBs, sweet and friendly once she warms up and feels comfortable. She is selective with dogs and prefers male dogs. We think she would do best in a home with just one adult or with a couple. Brandi is a great dog, but needs some training and exercise, and a safe place to call her own. Decompression time and a routine is really going to help this girl shine. She will make a great companion for someone with Rottie experience. Brandi is a 3 year old with a docked tail.
