Story
Rambo is a champion German Boxer. We purchased him from a known award winning breeder after a lot of research. Rambo is the first born and we waited six months to get him. He has all his papers and certificates and was very expensive. Rambo is highly trained and has had over 25 one on one training sessions with the top trainer in our area. He is very energetic and loving and rather calm for a boxer. Unfortunately life circumstances have changed and our work from home life has come to an end. Our kids have very busy schedules and now that we have to return to work full time we feel it’s wrong to leave him home alone all day we just do not have time nor do our kids what we thought was great idea was until we were called back to work full time. Rambo is the perfect dog and is for someone with an active lifestyle he is a great dog. We are giving him up only because we feel it’s not fair to leave him for ten hours a day even more some days.

Pit Bull Terrier

Story
Meet Hazel, a soulful sweetheart whose eyes tell a story of longing for love. This gentle Pitbull mix, around 3 years old and 45 lbs, has faced disappointment after being returned from what seemed like a promising home. She connected well with the family and enjoyed exploring the yard, but sadly, the introduction with the resident female dog didn't go smoothly, as there was tension between the two canine ladies. Hazel's heart is pure and gentle. She's never shown aggression towards humans, cherishing every moment of affection on the couch and being remarkably patient with a toddler. Her playful spirit and ability to leap a 4ft fence highlight her agility, though her excitement sometimes results in a clumsy bump or two around the house. Despite her setbacks, Hazel's love for life shines through during playtime. Whether chasing balls or engaging in tug-of-war, she exudes enthusiasm and a longing for companionship. Yet, deep down, she yearns for a home where she can be the sole focus or where introductions to other pets are taken slowly and with care. Hazel waits patiently for the perfect match, someone who will see beyond her brief history and offer the stable, loving environment she truly deserves. If you're ready to open your heart and home to this resilient companion, please apply for adoption at [Peace4Paws Adoption Application](https://peace4paws.org/adoption-application). Together, let's rewrite Hazel's story with the warmth and security she craves.If you have specific adoption or foster questions, please email: judy.atchison@yahoo.com THANK YOU FOR YOUR INTEREST IN RESCUING A DOG!
