This is Nashville. Making this post is extremely hard for me as I’ve done everything I can this past year to hold on to my fur baby.
She is almost 4 years old (birthday is January 29th) and I’m looking to rehome her due to having to a moving situation that is out of my control where I cannot have her.
A little about Nashville. She’s a very sweet dog with a fun personality. Loves to cuddle and be with her person, great with kids as she has been raised with kids her entire life, good with other dogs (was raised with my other dog for 3 years before that dog was put down and has been around my moms dogs for the last 7 months), does not do well with cats. She loves being outside, would do best if she has a fenced in backyard as that’s what she had the first 3 1/2 years of her life but also will be fine without as the last 7 months has been fine using the potty on a leash and taking daily walks several times a days.
She is fixed, up to date on her rabies vaccine and licensed until 2027, and microchipped.
I just want my girl to have the best home and the best life. I’ve had her since she was 2 1/2 months and giving her up is the most heartbreaking thing I’ve had to do in a long place, but my only living arrangements doesn’t allow animals so I’m without a choice. I’m needing. A home for her by January 12th at the latest as I will be moving that day.
