Story
Wendy is three years old. She is great with humans (babies, kids, adults). She does not love other dogs. She hates other dogs walking by our house. She has accidentally gotten out in the past and chased down other dogs. However, she does fine at the dog park. She likes cats but they don't really like her. She tries to play with them like they are dogs or she herds them. Our cats don't like either of those things. We had three kids when we got her and she has been so good with them. Our main reason for rehoming her is that we have a newborn that we didn't plan on having. Wendy is just too much for us with this new baby.

Amelia

Terrier (Unknown Type, Medium)

Female, Young
Stuart, IA
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Amelia loves her squeaky toys and loves to cuddle with them long after the squeak has left the toy, she especially loves the soft ones that squeak. You'll never have to wonder where she is in the home, if she's not in her favorite hiding spot then she'll be right next to you as you go from room to room waiting for the moment that she can fiercely cuddle with you. Amelia enjoys playing fetch. She knows 'sit' and is doing great on learning 'lay down'. She is house-trained as long she has a schedule she can learn. While she does have an ice toll and a cheese toll, she does not beg at the dining table. Due to recent life changes that have caused me to be home more and my wife traveling more, we have come to the unfortunate conclusion that we need to rehome our dog Amelia. In consideration of Amelia's anxiety of men and resource hoarding, she would thrive best in a female home.
