Story
KoKo is a pure bred Black Russian Terrier. (AKC Registration available) For some reason that breed was not available on the selection list so please disregard the Giant Schnauzer breed. KoKo is a gentle giant with a heart of gold. She is a great family dog that loves to play and loves to be loved on. Unfortunately, she was diagnosed with Addisons disease in February of 2024 and needs 4ML of Zycortal monthly and 10mg of Prednisone daily. this medication currently costs about $200 per month. Addisons is not a death sentence and most dogs live full lives. The only burden is the financial strain on my family for her day to day care along with medication. KoKo plays well with dogs and cats. She has great reviews whenever at daycare and often goes to dog park in warmer months. She handles grooming well and is crate trained. Any other questions, please let me know.

Story
Masie is a 10 year old terrier mix. She is spayed and UTD on her shots. Masie is being rehomed due to blending of two families and she is not able to live in the same house with other dogs. Currently, she is being kept separate from the other dogs, but it is not fair to Masie. Masie needs a home where she is the only pet. She also needs a 6 foot fence. She plays hard still at her age, so children over 5 would be best for her. Masie is a courtesy post and not a dog from PLDP Rescue. If interested in Masie, please email Dave at dedtileinc@comcast.net for more information.
