Story
We got Artemis as a puppy after her mom was accidentally bred. She’s a very sweet and loving girl with a lot of energy. She’s has a typical corso personality. She’s shy with new people but opens up quickly. She loves to play and cuddle. Recently she has started having some behavioral issues aimed towards her puppy sister. She will have random episodes of aggression and with our other dog being a senior it’s been taking a toll on her. As a mom with two young children I’ve developed some anxiety about her behavior and feel she would have a better chance at a happy life with more space and someone that has time to work with her. She’s being doing great with her training but I don’t have the time or space to help her with her behavioral needs.

Story
Luna is a 3 year old husky/lab mix, she is spayed and UTD with shots, she is chipped. She has had some basic training. She loves to go outside. She is good with other dogs but not with cats. Luna is good with kids and loves to cuddle. She is on a medication to help with spay incontinence (she will most likely have to be on it for the rest of her life) I need someone I trust to understand her condition and not get mad with her if she has the occasional accident. She is housebroken so it is not a habit. Please consider taking my baby into your family. If you’re interested in meeting this sweet girl please comment below. ** I am fine with doing something temporary just to make sure she is a good match with your family **
