Story
Kenji is a very friendly, lovable dog. However he has some behavior issues due to lack of training and other circumstances. He is very large but thinks he is a small dog and like to jump up on people. He is trainable and I was working well with him until I sustained an injury at work that led me to having a friend foster him. He has been kept outside and not had much interaction with people except for feeding time. He is not aggressive but should be watched around small children due to his size and energy level. I have had to move and my apt does not allow dogs or have a yard. I am also unable to care for him due to ongoing PT. Kenji would do best with a home including a fenced in yard and someone willing and able to train. He is fixed and will be up to date on all shots by 1/22/25. He was houseyrained previously but has spent the last year outside.

Story
Ms Lucy is affectionate & playful, very goofy, & loves to nest w/ blankets or wrestle. She likes greeting us w/ a big stretch, paws up when we come home. It's very gentle & cute. She does pretty well with our cats. Lucy likes to play "chase", & 1 cat doesn't like that game. Our other will play w/ her sometimes. Isolation made Lucy a bit awkward w/ dogs, but she wants to play so badly. She was very attached to her 1 litter of pups that was given away at 1yr old. Lucy was left alone in a dark home for several days after her owner moved. They had only been coming home to let her out 2x a day before that. She was pretty nervous & unsure. Now she's a cuddle bug & her confidence has grown. She's good w/ kids & women, a bit nervous w/ men at 1st, is 3ish yrs, UTD, & will be spayed 4/29/25 (ready for adoption after). She knows some commands & is potty trained. A playful pup or person would be great for her. We will send paper proof of vaccines & spay, harness, collar & some food.
