He is house trained, stays in a 4’ fence, is up-to-date on shots and neutered. He is being rehomed at landlords request due to his excessive barking. He has some separation anxiety and barks when the owner is away or leaves his sight when he is outside on a lead.

Please contact Kasha at (605) 863-1280 if you are interested in meeting Vash.

A couple of the breeds we’re sure he has in him are chihuahua and border collie. Both of his parents are mix breeds.

 [6/21/24] This is Maya, she is 4, will be turning 5 next month.She has no health problems, a little timid at first but after that she is super sweet. Great with kids and other animals. She is house trained and knows how to sit, lay down, and get in her kennel on command.
Never had any problems with her, my two older kids have moved out recently so she doesn't get much attention. She was 110 pounds last time we took her to the vet, probably could use some exercise. The only negative thing I can say about her is if she's not on the food she is currently on she has bad gas, she will clear out a room. And she does bark at people when she's in the backyard and people are walking by on the sidewalk or if my neighbors are in their back yards.
Never really took her on car rides much but the few times we did she didn't seem to enjoy it. She is a pure breed Rottweiler and we do have the original papers she came with. She needs a family with young kids that will spend time with her. Her favorite activity is tug of war, she will pull you right out of your seat and she loves playing hot potato as well as playing with bubbles. Comes with XL kennel with her bed in it that she sleeps in, we don't close the door that's just where she sleeps, the only time she's in there with the door closed is when she comes in with muddy paws. She is a good dog, our family situation is changing and she deserves more attention.  

[6/3/24]His name is Sgt. Tibbs and he is about 4.5 years old, he was neutered at about 3, at which time he got rabies and maybe another one? (Noah's Ark Dec 22-Jan 23ish) he is very afraid of dogs, timid but ok with other cats can be food territorial. Litterbox trained. Very loving but can be independent. He likes cat nip most toys although he may lose interest after a few minutes, doesn't seem to particularly care for wet cat food, he does like the broth style wet cat food. Crunchy treats over soft treats. If you have any questions or anything feel free to call/text (605) 503-1029.
