Jay-Z

Jay-z is 5 yrs old. he weighs 16 lbs he loves playing with his toys and going for walks every day. He is an inside dog and when it’s cold he sometimes needs a sweater when going outside. Jay-z has always slept in bed under the covers since he was a baby. He was our daughters dog but soon became me and my husbands dog when my daughter had her baby and didn’t have time for him like he needed.

We just moved into a brand new house and have been trying to crate train Jay-z during the day so he doesn’t get into anything while we are gone, he doesn’t like the crate and I hate leaving him in it all day. Before we moved he had the run of the house and was let out to do his business at least 3 times during the day, now that everyone works during the day no one is home to let him out there for he gets crated.

It has been a difficult decision to try and find another home for him, but he really needs more time and attention then we can give him especially with a 2 yr old who keeps us busy when we are home. I would like for the new owners to please keep in touch with me about jay-z. I will always love and miss him.

He’s a great dog, house broken, has all shots, neutered, gets along great with kids and other dogs as long as they are good to him. He use to bolt out the front door whenever he had an opportunity, he has stopped doing that with us but I would not let him run loose in a yard that wasn't fenced in.

A rehoming fee of $75.00 is required. If jay-z and his new owner are happy with each other at the end of 6 months the $75.00 will be returned. I just want him to have a good loving home.

If you can offer Jay-z that place in your heart please contact me at angel_babe_220@yahoo.com or call 817-682-3061.
