Story
Luna or lulu as she goes by that nickname is a small dog she is 3 years old and only 7 or 8 pounds . She loves to have a lot of attention . She loves to play with the ball . She is good with kids but when they run she is starts barking . Sometimes she does have pee accidents and she is used to going potty in the pads . She does go outside to play but she gets scared going downstairs . Once she is outside she has a good time . She does require a lot of love and attention and I would prefer for her to be the only dog . She does good with other dogs but she wants all the attention and she doesn’t like cats.

Story
Great dog, listens well. Example, if you say "go poop," he will turn around and poop if he needs to, lol. Lots of energy. Favorite toy in the whole world is his ball. I work way too much, and he does not get the attention he deserves. He is such a great dog. He would be perfect in a home with kids 9 and up. Someone who can go out and play fetch with, and burn all that energy he has. He has LOTS of it. You have to have a yard where he can run. If you plan on being an owner the is just going to leave him outside, especially in the cold, keep scrolling. Not neutered, does not need to be. Put yes because then it said he had to be neutered 30 days after adoption. He does not need to be.

Story
Meet Obi — 86 pounds of pure black fluffy love. This stunning Newfoundland/Malamute Husky mix is as loyal as they come, forming deep bonds with the people he trusts and showering them with affection. He knows his commands, is completely house-trained, and will only let you know he needs something when he truly means it — no drama, just honest communication. Obi is the ultimate snuggle buddy; he's so calm and gentle that you can literally fall asleep on him. When he's comfortable with you, his playful side comes out in full force, making him an incredible companion for an active household. He would thrive best with a confident, larger owner or in a home with another dog to help him burn off his energy — he does get leash-reactive, so the right environment will set him up for success. If you're looking for a devoted, gorgeous, gentle giant who will be your shadow and your best friend, Obi is your dog.
