Story
He has been the most wonderful companion for me. I bought him as a friend for my husbands American Bulldog who when my spouse passed and could not stop crying for him. Since then I've almost lost my ability to walk due to a hip needing replaced and losing my health insurance when my job closed down. A car ran thru my home on Thanksgiving day and I've been in temporary housing ever since. I'll be moving in with my son in his small trailer and can't take the dogs. I'm asking if you can help me rehome Kobe before that happens. He's potty trained and used to family life. Please call Kathy at 302-983-1761November 5, 2024, 3:21 pm

Hello, my name is Barbara Phone number 410-920-3818. Henry is almost 2 years old. He is well cared for very healthy. All of his shots are up current. The only meds he is on is simparica trio. His last rabies shot was January 30, 2024. He is due again January 30, 2027. He is very active and loves to chew everything. He is OK with older children, but aggressive with young children. We now have several younger children. And are expecting another great grandchild. He needs a lot of room to run and play. Please reach out and let me know if you can help with this thank you and have a blessed day.November 5, 2024, 3:21 pm

Story
Meet Cosmo: Please call 917- 842-7062 if interested. This sweet boy needs a home that has plenty of time for walks or a fenced in yard. He's still a pup, but he is house trained and potty trained fully. He is also crate trained and sleeps well in his crate for bed time or when left at home unattended. We have noticed that he may be sensitive to certain kind of meats/dry foods. But, since being on a brand called Redford Naturals Limited Ingredient Diet-Lamb and Sweet Potato recipe, his stomach has been agreeable and he's been happy. He's sweet and gentle around children all ages. He will bark at strangers, which makes him a great watch dog! All in all, he's a very sweet boy who needs a home that can provide more outdoor space and time.November 7, 2024, 10:21 am
