As per her previous owner, Charlotte is house trained, crate trained and knows the commands like sit, down, stay and come. Charlotte loves other dogs and would do best in a home with kids 13 years and older.

Ivo was surrendered to the shelter along with another dog due to their owners moving out of state. Ivo is 2 years old and weighs 60 pounds. Ivo's previous owners reported that he is house trained and crate trained. Ivo knows his basic commands and enjoys playing with his toys.
