Story
He is one year old, his birthday is November 27,2023. He is one of the most amazing dogs I’ve owned I just lost my job and couldn’t afford his food anymore. I kept him until his last bowl of food, he is currently at the Peoria pound please just go save him. I cried the whole time taking him there please just give him one the best homes, by just getting him out of there.

Story
Cualli is red with black gradient at the neck and tail, and has a narrow white patch on his chest, hazel eyes, born March 8, 2024, 9 months old. He's very playful and affectionate, loves car rides and playing ball. He wants to play with our other dog, but the other one is too aggressive, so I think he would love to have other dogs to play with in his new home. He sleeps on my bed, so he's not crate trained, but he is housebroken (jumps at where I keep his leash/harness when he has to go). Bought him in June from a Starkville MS breeder to love forever, but keeping him separated from our other dog, along with imminent loss of my job, requires me to rehome him. I'll ship him to you but you must pay the shipping costs, including cost of sedating him as needed.

Story
Clyde came from a shelter. He is 160 pounds. He is very strong and silly. He requires daily exercise and stimulation or he gets bored. He is a good dog, can be territorial on walks when other dogs are around but loves to play and wrestle with my smaller dog just fine. Clyde will do well with a male who can be in charge of him and keep him in check. Please re-search his breed. He is not for first time dog owners. Will not do well with children, due to his size and playfulness. My living situation and income has changed and I don’t have the time or resources to give him what he needs to have a full life. My work schedule is unpredictable and My household just took a major financial hit, so this is just not the right fit anymore. Clyde is a great dog, and it is very hard to give him up, but he deserves a life that I am unable to give him at this time. Serious inquiries only. Experienced dog owners only. Must have history owning large breeds. Must plan to keep him as an inside dog.
