CHLOE OWNER AVAILABLE

If interested in CHLOE please contact Ada via email at adalau22@yahoo.com This is Chloe. She’s 2 years old and is a Border Collie mixed. She weighs about 48 lbs. We adopted her from the rescues when she was about 4 months old. She is healthy, fixed, fully vaccinated and chipped. She is playful and very affectionate. Unfortunately, we have to rehome her because she has been aggressive towards my two other senior dogs. From the time we adopted her until now, she has only shown aggression with dogs. (She has never been around cats) She loves playing with other dogs but after a while, she might become aggressive if they are too rough with her or if toy/food is involved. She has no issues when I take away her food. She is also crate trained and can sleep in her crate all night. Chloe will need to be in a home with no other pets!!

POPPY OWNER AVAILABLE

If interested in POPPY please contact Sonya via email at poppynewhome@gmail.com   Poppy is full of energy and love. She will wow you with her bouncy athleticism, intellect and remarkably soft coat. She is up to date on all vaccinations and is spayed, microchipped, and is 4 and a half years old and 43 pounds. I love this dog with my whole heart, but am now managing a disability and feel she may have a better life with a household that can give her a more exercise-intensive lifestyle. She would thrive with several hours of exercise daily (or other activities such as nosework) in a securely fenced area.
