Story
Bella is a very quiet dog in the house. She is an older dog and is very well behaved and laid back. She doesn’t see the best and she also can’t hear well either.. she only response to loud noises which also makes her nervous, due to here not hearing properly. Bella is good for either an older couple or someone who doesn’t have young children. She likes to be in a quiet area away from loud noises that scare her. I’ve had Bella for 5 years and can’t keep her due to me moving.

Story
Roach is a young heeler mix rescue. He spent a large part of his puppyhood in a cage without proper socialization before we got him, so he needs some work getting used to public settings/new people. He does great with those coming into the house if they sit on the couch and meet him, but is wary in public. He is house trained, working on muzzle training, and his vocabulary expands quickly. He is great for nail trims, will give you his paw and sits still. Accustomed to having his teeth brushed. Very high energy, loves to play fetch, enjoys training. He has made great progress with leash manners. We are rehoming Roach due to career changes giving us very little time for his energy needs, and with maturity he has developed a strong prey drive towards my cat. He grew up around children, is gentle with them, but gets excitable/likes to chase, so may be better suited for older children. He is very affectionate, always wants to be near his people, knows many commands. Comes w/ bowls/bed/crate

Story
This is hard for us to do since Polo is such a good dog. However, our daughter is allergic to him, which is the only reason we are looking for a new home for Polo. He is a nervous dog and loves to be with his humans. At the moment he is downstairs with our pit who has been his buddy for now. I think a home with an older couple and smaller dogs would do well for Polo. He is good with other pets but does need about 2 to 3 weeks to acclimate. He loves to be on your lap or run around and play with his toys. He loves to run which is why its so hard to keep weight on him. We adopted Polo 3 years ago from an older woman who adopted him a year prior and it was from an abusive owner so we have seen him react to loud noise or yelling, this is why it would be best to home him with an older couple or person. So If you're looking for a well-behaved trained dog who just needs a lot of cuddles and love Polo is your boy.
