Rehome | From One Loving Family to Another

Hey, I'm Rain and I love people! I'm looking for owners that will spend time playing with me every day and taking me on walks.

I'm a good, sweet girl that's house-trained, spayed, and chipped. I do love to chew, so I need really good toys to keep me entertained.

Cats have scared me in the past, but I'd enjoy having a dog sibling or more if they don't mind me. Storms scare me so, I hope you don't mind my barking.

Children should be age 8 or older so they don't get accidentally hurt when I'm trying to play. I just get so excited, I jump a lot and nip sometimes in my excitement. That is scary for little ones.

I could do with some more obedience training. I don't consistently listen to commands I learned before, so I need someone who will consistently work with me.

My current owner is rehoming me because she doesn't have the time or finances to keep me. She tried earlier this year to rehome me and those people kicked me out without notice so the local shelter found me and returned me to her.

I need someone or a family that will love on me a lot. I need a lot of attention, patience, and love.
