He's lived with other dogs before though and seemed to enjoy that (a total of four different dogs over the course of the years, ranging from small to x-large and puppy to senior adult). I haven't let him around smaller pets like cats and bunnies because he usually scares them and tries to chase them.The animal's behavior around children; he gets along well with children and the neighbor kids love to play with him.Any past or existing health issues that the animal has had; none, just some anxiety outside in urban environmentsAny medication the animal may currently be taking; noneAny dietary restrictions that the animal may have; noneThe animal's training history (especially whether or not the animal is housebroken); He is well-trained and definitely housebroken. He knows a number of commands and tricks and is extremely attentive and obedient indoors, though outside he can easily get overstimulated by his surroundings.

Nacho

Size

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Nacho is a loveable, affectionate, 2 year old shelter rescue born on September 24, 2021. He is potty trained, crate trained, and knows simple commands such as sit, paw, and down. Nacho loves to be around dogs and other people and comes from a home with both other dogs and children. He is very social and loves going out in public on walks, dog friendly places, and the beach (though he is scared to get in the water). He is 85-90 pounds but loves to pretend he is a lap dog and always wants attention. Nacho does get a little territorial over his food so it is best for him to eat in a room by himself. He also gets anxiety about fireworks, thunderstorms, and being in cars. We are hoping that Nacho is able to go to a loving home with the time and space to care for him, ideally with another dog whom he can continue to socialize with.

Male, Senior

Details

Good with kids, Not good with dogs, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,

Story

Hal is a great dog, I inherited Hal after my parents died 2 years ago. He is a bit anxious and has not been the same since my parents passed. I work full time, so does my fiancé, and he needs a attention and to be played with. I simply do not have the time to do so. I feel really awful about letting him go, he has a partner in crime Sophie, who I will let go as well if you can accept two animals. She is able to be walked off the leash any where and any time. She keeps Hal in check when need be. Again, I feel horrible about letting go of both of my parents dogs but they do not get the time and attention needed in order to be happy. The quality of life right now is low on the schedule. Hal is 13 and Sophie is 12. I put no for the Other dog question as Hal has to get acclimated to the other dog and introduced properly.

Details

Good with kids, Good with dogs, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,

Story

Shadow is a 2 year old male German Shepard. We purchased him from a breeder as a pup. Shadow is very ball driven and loves to play catch. He is great with children and also lives with a female boxer. Shadow has anxiety and can be reactive to other dogs. He has never attacked another animal he is just extremely vocal towards the. Shadow needs an owner that knows how to care for a German shepherd. My family I have never owned a German shepherd and are completely ignorant despite his and our training in how to help him with his anxiety and reactiveness. Our hopes are he will be adopted by someone who has experience with shepherds. We refuse to put him in a shelter as he will not do good in that setting but it breaks our heart that he is not living his best life because we cannot provide that for him.

My sibling and I were wandering along Bus 59 and CR 448 for several days. Several people tried to catch us and couldn't. Finally, we saw someone out walking one morning and decided we were ready to be rescued! We followed her all the way to her house so she could rescue us. She put us in a horse stall so we would be safe and then contacted SPOT for help.
