Story
My husband has had Bane for several years- he was a stray previously and was adopted from the pound. My husband and I got married a little less than 6 months ago and with that came a combination of 5 kids, 3 dogs, and 2 cats. Unfortunately it is all just too much to handle and my poor dogs are getting the short stick of it all. There are some also some personal health issues involved as well. I would love to see all three go to a new home together, but that is not required. Bane has been to doggy training school in the best and is very well behaved. He knows sit, lay, watch me, come, and speak. He is completely house trained and he used to be crate trained (we ran out of room for a crate but I don't think he would have a problem getting back to that). Bane has a spinal injury- traumatic IMDD. He jumped off our deck last year and it caused a bulging disc. He was paralyzed at first but has been doing great now, and is able to use stairs and (almost) run.

Story
My husband has had Bruce since he was a puppy- he was adopted from the pound. My husband and I got married a little less than 6 months ago and with that came a combination of 5 kids, 3 dogs, and 2 cats. Unfortunately it is all just too much to handle and my poor dogs are getting the short stick of it all. There are some also some personal health issues involved as well. I would love to see all three go to a new home together, but that is not required. Bruce is a pit mix, and is extremely dorky. He is lazy, a little overweight, and the happiest boy. He really likes belly rubs and (short) walks. He does like to chase squirrels in the back yard. Bruce could use some help loosing a little weight (he likes to steal the other dogs and cats foods here). He also has a benign tumor on his stomach (lipoma).

Chatham, IL
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered,
Story
I have had Daisy for nearly 5 years- she was a stray and I adopted her from a shelter in Kansas City.. My husband and I got married a little less than 6 months ago and with that came a combination of 5 kids, 3 dogs, and 2 cats. Unfortunately it is all just too much to handle and my poor dogs are getting the short stick of it all. There are some also some personal health issues involved as well. I would love to see all three go to a new home together, but that is not required. Daisy is the typical silly pitty who really likes sunbathing and destroying toys. She has separation anxiety and is a mastermind at getting out of crates. She is the most loving dog I have ever met and it breaks my heart that I am even considering this. She is wonderful with all people and animals and does know some commands. She likes to talk and bark and has never shown any signs of aggression. She is somewhat leash trained but is convinced she belongs on a bobsled team.
