Story
Atlas is just over a year old, born completely deaf! He's up to date on all shots and was just neutered a couple months ago. He is crate trained and knows "sit" and "come here" in ASL. He has lived with cats and dogs (and does currently) and has had no issues. We love Atlas, but unfortunately need to rehome him because we discovered that our cat is absolutely terrified of larger dogs. We tried to make it work, but our animals just aren't compatible. We feel awful, because Atlas hasn't done anything to make the cat scared of him. He NEEDS someone who has the time, money, and energy to train a deaf dog. The only issue we've had with him is that he is aggressive towards the vet. No one else at the vet's office, never other animals, just specifically the vet themself. He also sometimes freaks out if a stranger surprises him, due to being deaf. He comes with his vet paperwork, a heavy duty leash/harness, collar, crate, etc.

Story
Lucy SkinnyButt is a tan, brown, and white chihuahua, basset hound mix. Very athletic, cuddle bug, shy. Her litter mate/sister is a black and white chihuahua basset hound mix. Loves food, loves life, loves everyone. Not shy. Sadly, I am forced into a situation where I can no longer properly care for my girls. They have been my everything for 7 years and are total sweethearts. They are great with other animals and love children. I feel they would be a great fit for a busy home with lots of love and activity. Although they are housebroken, they have had to move 4 times in the last year and Lucy SkinnyButt (the brown, tan one) has had some issues adjusting to the indoor potty zone of the new place. I need to part ways with them because of both financial reasons and my new landlord says that I cannot keep them. If you feel your home is a good fit, please message me!
