Story
Kuma is somewhere between 6-7 years old. She is purebred, and I have the papers to show so. I inherited her after a family member passed, I live in cap hill in an attic studio and its just not what this wonderful dog needs. I don't have past vet records. She is extremely intelligent, loving and protective as her breed is supposed to be. She needs an owner she can securely attach to and understands the kind of attention German needs. She is loud and protective towards other dogs and strangers at first but after a proper introduction she is sweet and docile. She has lived with two cats and a puppy so far with no issue- totally submissive to them. She has never bitten another human or dog. She knows basic commands and does really well with consistency. I ask no adoption fee so long as you can provide proof of income and a backyard for this sweet gal. I have a kennel you can also have-it folds up flat. I do not have a car so you will have to meet me in Cap Hill, Denver.

Story
Louis is very sweet. He has lots of energy. He's an American Bully not an American Bulldog. He knows basic commands. He needs a yard to run in. He is very healthy. He would fit into a home with other dogs, cats, kids, etc. He loves attention. We live in an apartment and Louis needs an outdoor area to play and run around.

Story
This is Hunter. He is a real sweety. He is 9 years old and he is also deaf. He is pretty good at reading emotions and will go where pointed to and will stop and be calm with a "stop" hand sign. We got him from a shelter a little over three years ago and he has been a good dog and friend to our first dog. He needs a yard to sniff around in and loves walks, though he is starting to slow down with age. He has had some recent issues with chewing his dog beds, a couple carpet corners, and I think it is mostly because we are unable to walk him as regularly as he needs. This guy is awesome and I think a great companion to an older adult, small family or single person with time for him (maybe a retiree) would probably be best. He has never even hinted at biting anyone, but is not naturally playful with kids and in big groups of people will likely retreat to a quiet corner. He has so much love.
