Story
We adopted Luna aka Lulu from Wags and Whiskers in summer of 2019. Luna is sweet and loving but is extremely energetic! She loves to go for walks and listens very well with commands. We have taken her to dog parks and dog day cares, and she has never been viscous, but she is a very rough player, and we worry she could hurt a dog from playing. She is on a daily dose of anxiety medication, and she will at times get trazodone for certain high anxiety xxxx@xxxx.x we leave her with pet sitter or if she has vet visit. In the years that we have had her, she has been trained by a local dog trainer and she listens well with standard commands. However, what we cannot seem to break her of is resource guarding. She is very protective of mommy and will at times act weird or growl if one of our kids comes near or tries to hand me something. More recently, she has started food/treat resource guarding. We cannot take the risk with our two children anymore. We LOVE HER! but...

Story
Hashbrown was adopted as a little puppy my Husband and I over 5 years ago. He is a sweet loving and very cuddly boy. We now have two toddlers and busy schedules. In addition to this Hashbrown has some needs that are making him a challenge. Specifically, he does not do well in a crate. Salivates and gets anxious. He also has a bad habit of locking himself in rooms by closing the door behind himself. Then he gets anxious and occasionally to the point of wanting to chew himself out.

Story
Bunkie has been my best friend for 8 years. I got him in New Orleans when I was lonely & working too much, and he's been the best companion since. He LOVES playing fetch, loves the water, a great cuddler, and has a super funny personality. I can't say enough great things about him, but I am having to make a tough decision for what's best for him. Unfortunately with 2 children, new job, and Bunkie's need for big attention I feel I am not the best fit for him anymore. I want to find him a new home, with someone that will love him as much as I do.

Story
I'm sad to post this but we have to rehome our 4 1/2 year old pitbull. I'm pregnant and she's become too much for me to handle. She is fixed and UTD on her shots. She is good with other dogs! XL kennel included. Disclaimer she is terrified of going down the stairs! But she is super sweet and hyper needs a big yard!
