Freya need a sunset home
Freya is a 13 year old female spayed Dalmatian/ Pitbull mix. She is quick to play or go on an adventure, or just as quick to cuddle up for a cozy nap. She loves being with her person, and is house trained via dog door. Due to history of fights with one of our dogs, she should be an only dog. She lives with cats and is cautious of them. She can live with older children.

Why are you rehoming your pet (primary reason)?:
Incompatible with Other Pets
Rehoming reason details (if necessary):
Our 3rd dog is probably on his last winter; he gets along well with both females (both are spayed), however both females must be kept strictly separate or they will fight. I believe his loss will create more tension, and she will have less companionship - we work full time and the kids are in school. I want better for her.
