Story
Conrad is good around older kids and adults. He is an inside dog. He loves his toys and treats. We got him from a breeder and he is 3.5 years old. He is an incredible dog, but he has been recently aggressive at times toward my 6 year old daughter and has bit her once. We are devastated about having to re-home him but it's to the point that my daughter is scared around him.

Story
Meet Gus! He is a handsome, 70 lb bundle of love who has been a devoted family member since he was a puppy. Now 5 years old, he is in the prime of his life: fully house-trained, well-mannered, and a world-class snuggler. Gus is a classic "one-family dog” and would thrive as an “only child”. He can be over-protective of his favorite people and high-value treats (a common trait called resource guarding), so he needs a home where he doesn't feel the need to compete for your attention or his snacks. It can take Gus a little longer to warm up to new faces but once you are part of his circle, he is incredibly affectionate and loving. He is looking for a patient adopter who understands the he prefers a quiet home where guest introductions are handled slowly and with plenty of treats. While Gus has some specific needs, the reward of winning his trust is unmatched. If you can offer a patient, single-pet home where he can let down his guard, Gus will give you 100% of his heart.
