Story
We got Lucy from a local shelter in the middle of May. She was born February 17,2024. She is a 9month old very energetic puppy. She is up to date on shots, spayed and microchipped. She is very loving, good with kid, we have 2 grandchildren, age 16 months and 21/2. Good with dogs. Cats unknown. She is crate trained. Mostly potty trained, but does have accidents. She loves to play fetch with a stick and a ball. She also loves her toys that dispenses treats. She goes through stuffed animal toys-she loves to take the stuffing out. Unfortunately we need to rehome her because I need to have surgery on both of my feet. I will have pins in my toes and wires coming out of my toes. I won’t be able to take care of her after the surgery and the doctor told me that the wires would be sticking out for 6 weeks. We are upset that we have to rehome her. But she deserves a young family, preferably with a fenced in yard. So she can live her best life. She will come with her crate and treat dispensing toy

Story
Apollo has lived in a single home. He is very protective of his house, but not aggressively. He is great with my kids, the youngest was 6 when we got him. I recently moved my girlfriend and her daughter in and he is not accepting of her 6 year old. We have tried for 18 months but he just isn't accepting her into his 'herd'. I am looking for a good home where he can continue to thrive.
