Story
The neighbors had puppy's and gave us Nemesis. We thought he would be a good fit, however, he has a lot of energy and needs a bigger yard. Nemesis is about one years old, he has lots of energy, he will be a great fit for someone who likes to walk with a dog or on a farm or large area of land to run around. He is great with children. There is no fee for adopting Nemesis, we will provide $100 towards food and anything else for re-homing him. For the Breed, I could not find, Blue Heeler. Nemesis is a Blue Heeler.

Story
I adopted Maddie from a shelter approximately 3 years ago. Maddie came to me when she was 1 and the shelter told me her and her sister were locked in a bedroom for the first year of their lives. Maddie is the sweetest girl ever. She loves to lay in bed all day. The only issue that I have yet to break from her is going potty in my house. There is no rhythm or reason to it. She can literally go outside and use the bathroom then come back in and potty. She has no medical issues but appears to be behavioral. If she is in my bedroom with the doors closed with me in bed, she will not potty inside. She has been through a lot in her life but is the perfect pet! She needs someone that can work with her behavioral issues.
