Story
Abandoned by ex roommate. Needs to be rehomed because I cannot financially support the dogs with my girlfriend and child moving in soon. Ryder knows no stranger. As far as I know he is not good with cats. But he loves people and playing with other dogs. He needs to be fixed. He is potty trained. He does not like his feet being touched but will let you know if you are bothering him by just groaning a bunch. Has never bitten anyone or been in a dog fight. When you get home from work, you will see just how much he loves you. I’ve never met a more loving and gentle dog. I am willing to help with the adoption process/help with any vet services you may immediately need for him. Currently working on getting him his rabies shot. He was abandoned to me with another dog I have listed named Eezo. He’s too good of a dog and I’ve gotten close so I at least have to try to get him a home as opposed to a shelter. Eventually I may be taking him to a no kill shelter nearby if nobody wants him.

Basic Information Other Female 2 years old 40 lbs. Brown eyes Black-White-White fur coat Important Notes About Morticia Possibly good with dogs and cats Good with kids over 10 years old High energy level Special Training If adopted, Morticia will come with a six session training package to successfully transition to home life. More Info Hello, my name is Morticia, and I am a young mixed breed looking for a new best friend! I am believed to be part cattle dog because of my medium size and exuberant personality. I was surrendered because I tried to herd people at my previous home, so I need someone who can give me an outlet for my energy. I am eager to please and happy to work—just give me something to do! While I have some issues getting along with children and small animals, I get along really well with other dogs. I thrive in an environment where I can engage in activities that challenge my mind and body, whether it's learning new tricks, playing fetch, or going on long walks. I have a strong desire to bond with my human companions and show my love through enthusiastic kisses. I may want you all to myself, but with some guidance, I can learn how to share my affection. If you’re looking for a devoted and energetic companion who will fill your days with joy, we’re a match made in heaven!

Meet Toast! She is great with other dogs and even participates in a doggie day care program. She was teased by children in her prior home so a home without kids would be best for our little Toasty. She's a great little play buddy and will make a loving companion for someone. Toast is bonded with our standard poodle, Zeppelin and we would love to keep them together. Email us at bombshellbullies@hotmail.com to see if Toast and Zeppelin would be a good match for you!
