Hello,
We are trying to rehome our dog. She is about 10 months old. She is spayed and up to date on all vaccs. She absolutely loves people and kids and other dogs and cats. We need to find her a home because she has a drive for livestock. Unfortunately she has gone after our livestock three times now. She is truly a good girl and will thrive in a home with kids and other dogs, just not livestock.
