Story
Buddy is a 7-year-old senior dog and currently weighs 17 lbs and previously lived with a senior citizen in an apartment. He is up to date on all vaccines. He was not exercised, and I have been walking him daily for a week now. He is adjusting to walks and pottying outside. Previously, he was trained to potty on mats. I have taken away rugs and he hasn't had an accident inside in 4 days. He is smart and cuddles. He is leery of strangers, does not like to be teased, and shows food aggression with other dogs.

Story
Daisy was dropped off with her sister, Rosie, at our church camp back in July 2024. The shelters were full, so we brought them home with us. She has had a vet check, UTD on shots, and has been spayed and wormed. Fecal test is negative. She had one month of Nexguard that is overdue. She is approximately 11-12 months old now. Daisy is a little shy at first, but she will slowly warm up to you. She comes into an area of our home through a dog door. She does go out to go to the bathroom, but I can’t honestly say she wouldn’t go in the house if she were in other areas. Fee is to assure a good home and to get back some of what has been spent at the vet already. We really didn't have the money, but it needed done; however, it is negotiable. Her sister has found her forever home. Please help Daisy find hers.
