Story
This girl is such a joy! She loves to run and play and just be her best self! She came in with her BFF Maya, when their owner passed away suddenly. She is dog/cat friendly, loves people and would do great in just about any home. She is such a love of a dog! She would love to find a family that is active, ready for out of the puppy stage but still a puppy, dog :). She can be shy when you meet, but she warms up so fast. She walks great on a leash with a collar or harness. No medical issues that we are aware of at this time. She just got groomed so she could put her best paw forward and is waiting for her family to find her! If you are interested in her, please fill out an application on our website at https://bit.ly/pawdadopt

Story
Charlie's breed is French bulldog and shih tzu. We are rehoming him due to not being able to house hi with our living conditions. He is very toy driven and a working dog. He is all dog and believe he is as large as a great dane though he is about a foot tall and a foot and half long. We have kept him in great health and keep pet insurance on him for regular checkups/vaccinations. He takes a small allergy pill every night to keep his undercarriage free of rashes and prevents scratching. He has a lot of energy and enjoys fetch and lots of toys. Have to watch the toys because he will shred them and ingest, at that point we toss them. He is an alert dog in the home and a barker outdoors. He is reactive with other animals and small children. We have been through the best extensive and expensive training over a long period of time b are informed that he is who he is and is a good dog, just not suitable for all folks. I am available to answer any questions or arrange a meet and greet
