Story
Ember is roughly 9-10 years old, we rescued her from our local vet shelter when she was estimated to be between 4-5 years old. Loves to bask in the sun and loves the wind on windy days. Unfortunately we no longer have the time to take care of her the way she deserves, we have a 15 month old and a new baby on the way. She deserves a family that will spoil her with love better than we can. Loves walks, is leash trained. Loves bell pepper scraps when I cook.

Story
A few months ago my family and I found a sweet german shepherd mix roaming the streets for days hungry so we took him in, got him neutered and vaccinated, and adopted him. We love him very much, but are unable to give him the time and attention he deserves as we work full time and go to school full time. We wish we could keep him, but are looking to rehome him with someone that will have the bandwidth to care for him the way he needs. He is a very sweet dog, but comes from a background of trauma and neglect. We found out that he was abandoned and mistreated by past owners before we adopted him and wanted to try our best to give him the love he deserved, but it has been tough with the lack of time we are able to spend at home. He needs lots of space and ample time outdoors, loves to cuddle and is very playful and affectionate. Please message me if you are seriously interested in adopting him. We have a supply of food, treats, feeding bowls, and leash to help get you started.
