Story
Okoye is almost 5 years old, birthday is 4-6-20. She is an “only dog” and has been not been around many other dogs. She is very loving with a sweet demeanor. She loves to play, go on walks and is crate-trained. She is pretty well trained as far as commands go. She is outside during the day and sleeps inside in her crate at night. We do bring her in to the house to hang out and after a few minutes of excitement, she is chill and hangs out. I am looking to rehome Okoye because I am going to be relocating and can’t take her with me. She is such a sweet dog so I am hoping she will find a family that will give her lots of love and attention. She loves all people and has never been aggressive toward anyone, child or adult.

Story
We love our big boy! And it breaks our heart to let him go, but we lost our house and now have to move down to an apartment where he can not be. We’ve tried finding him a good home but can’t get any luck. He’s super sweet, listens very well loves the outdoors. Loves cuddles. Has a little of separation anxiety but not aggressive at all.
