Not good with dogs, Not good with cats, Needs experienced adopter, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
She is super sweet once warmed up. Ive had her since she is a few weeks old. She has issues with other animals and does have a history of biting and aggression towards animals but has never hurt a person. She has brittle nails so they break easily. She is kennel trained, but likes to destroy blankets and chew things. She will go potty in the house if left alone. She is 3 years old, her birthday is November 22nd (2021). I am very sad to have to rehome her, and I would love to get updates on how she is with pictures so I know she is in a good home.

Details
Good with kids, Good with dogs, Good with cats, House-trained, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Lilith is 8 months old, she loves playing with toys that squeak or have crinkle stuff like a bottle inside. She loves cuddling and has a good amount of energy but not overly energetic. She is good with cats, other dogs and kids. She has a goofy personality and hardly barks, but she will try to speak to you by saying “ohwow”.. she is potty trained well, and she does well in her kennel/crate and playpen. She does tug a little when walking, but with a slight correction usually she is good by staying not far ahead.

Arlo

German Shepherd Dog

Male, Young
Cottonwood Heights, UT
Size
(when grown) Med. 26-60 lbs (12-27 kg)
Details
Good with kids, Needs experienced adopter, House-trained, Spayed or Neutered, Shots are up-to-date,
Story
Arlo is a sweet boy with lots of energy. He is super lovable and playful, but he really needs a home with a yard or a very active owner. He is very smart as well. He doesn’t fight with our other dog, but I’ve never seen him in a setting with dogs he doesn’t know. My guess is he’d be playful and friendly.
