Bear us a very cuddly dog. She loves to lay on our coach with us and be loved. She is high energy. Loves to play ball all day long. She’s very goofy. Beautiful girl. Unfortunately she doesn’t get a long with other dogs. She needs to be the only dog. She lives to be outdoors and is crate trained and house trained. She is okay with humans. She’s very reactive. She’ll bark but will settle down. We hope she is loved and cuddled all day long with whoever adopts her. We just want her to thrive in the loving home she deserves.

Does your pet have any history of health issues or medical conditions that potential adopters should be aware of?:
I can’t afford the vet so I don’t know if she has any health issues.

What criteria are important to you when considering an adoptive family or home for your pet?:
That it’s a safe and loving home for her. She’s a beautiful, sweet girl who deserves a loving home.
Is there anything else you'd like your pet's new family to know?:
We can’t say how she’s around other people for sure. I think she’ll be fine. She’s a reactive dog so she barks but she’s around my brother and when she’s gotten out she has never bite anyone. She has never done anything to my young son or my autistic daughter. I think it’s a matter of training her correctly to be around other humans and not bark. We rescued Bear so she could know love. We hope that whoever gets her can show her that even tho she’s being re-homed it’s not because there’s a problem with her. We weren’t the right fit for her. But we love her so much to admit that she deserves a better life than the one we are currently providing for her.
Why are you rehoming your pet (primary reason)?:
Pet Behavior
Details about rehoming reason (if needed):
It’s several reasons. 1. She doesn’t get along with our other female dog. 2. My son is highly allergic to her. 3. We can’t afford the cost of care she deserves. 4. I need to go back to work and our current situation of how we have been making this work isn’t going to work anymore. No one will be at home to make sure all our dogs are being looked out for.
