Story
Stella is a very special dog to me.. I got her the a year aftermy mom passed away. She was born a month before my mom passed away to the day! Having to rehome her makes me very sad. But I have a child who is 5 months old and another one on the way! I don’t have the time I did before having kids! This is not fair to Stella! She is very territorial! But she is the best dog I could ask for! I just feel it is unfair to her! I love her and hate to see her go! But I know this is for the best!

We purchased Freya from a friend. Their huskies had puppies. Freya is 2 years old and is crate trained. She was the runt of the litter and is smaller than average huskies. She is playful and great/ gentle with kids. She has been an indoor dog, but has been outside for about a year. We are looking for a home where she will get the attention she deserves and will stay loved.

Bodhi

Staffordshire Bull Terrier German Shepherd Dog

Male, Adult
New Haven, IN
Size
(when grown) Large 61-100 lbs (28-45 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, Needs special attention, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Bodhi loves just about everyone, is energetic but can be chill too, LOVES car rides and going places, and rarely barks. He loves treats and pets. He loves his kitties and visitors. Walks are a breeze. His one special need is that he has pretty bad separation anxiety. According to his DNA profile, he's half pittie, quarter GSD, and a quarter bulldog (English and American). He's smart and sweet, and always makes you feel loved. He's 66ish pounds, and the adoption fee is a donation to a local shelter of your choice. I will be working more, and my other human will be working soon so he will be alone a lot more at a time when it's really difficult to find someone to check on him. He needs someone financially stable who maybe works from home or can take him to work with them, and who will use his crate to keep him safe (the crate comes with him) when they are not home. My finances are shaky, and I won't be able to be home much soon.
