I urgently need to rehome my sweet female dog to a calm, stable, and loving home. She is a good girl who does best in a peaceful environment and would thrive with someone who can provide patience, consistency, room for her to walk/run, and a calming space.
This decision is incredibly hard and not taken lightly, but due to current circumstances, I need to find her a new home as soon as possible so she can be safe, comfortable, and emotionally at ease. Her well-being is my top priority.
She would be best suited for a home with minimal chaos, and preferably someone experienced or willing to give her the calm care she needs. She is good around kids but she is terrible with personal space. And if she gets scared she doesn’t care if she steps on someone to get away fast.
She comes to all of her names, whether you say one of them or all of them. And she may jump up on you but that’s just because she wants a hug.
