Senior bonded pair of military family seek new home
Ace was adopted from a shelter as a puppy so I've had him his who life. Ace will play when he's in the mood and although he is big and older he has no joint problems. He is crate and potty trained. I think he has atleast three to five years in him. He so kind and gentle. He is great with kids and LOVES attention and being pet. He is bonded with his 11 year old sister Angel. My husband is in the Air Guard and we are being sent to another state for training. Housing will not accommodate dogs. Iys a very hard decision for us to rehome but we have no other choice and just want to approach this decision the best way we can and avoid shelters. The odds for senior/large breed/bonded pair at a shelter is very bad and I don't want my dogs in that situation. We have a very loose timeline on when we will be leaving and only know it will be after the first of the year. Once he gets orders we could be leaving in a week, or a month, again we have little information. So we are looking to rehome both dogs together ASAP. Willing to negotiate Financial help For new family.
