My name is Belle. 

I got her a little over 2 years ago from acquaintances who were moving and couldn’t take her along. They rescued Belle when she was approximately 3-4 months old, found in a dumpster. Belle is now almost 4 years old, best we can tell. 
She is a mix breed of Lab, Pit and Boxer, maybe others. Belle has a very playful personality, boundless energy and a huge appetite. She weighs 55-60 lbs and has a tail that will knock you over if you’re not paying attention lol. She is very strong. 
While I have never seen Belle be aggressive towards a human, she does bark viciously at small dogs and cats. I would worry about chickens also, were she to  come into contact with them. 
I do not have a fenced in yard, so Belle stays inside all day while I am gone to work, and when I get home, she is pretty needy with time and attention. This is increasingly hard for me, as I get home with few minutes to spare before taking care of my family’s needs. She doesn’t respond as well for my kids as she does for me, as far as going to the bathroom when taken outside, so their efforts to help out, while appreciated, aren’t really effective. 
Belle gets jealous of my kids when I’m spending time on the couch with them. Belle is not allowed on the couch, and she lets us know that she’s jealous. 
Since she is inside so much, there is a lot of pet hair that needs to be cleaned up daily, along with laundering her blankets on her bed and in her kennel. 
Add in trips to the vet to keep up with her needs, keeping her clean, and buying her special food, the cost both financially and time wise are really adding up. 
I had a large decrease in income halfway through last year, and am really feeling the strain to keep up with her care. 
I also truly believe she would be happier somewhere where she could run around outside within a fence,  without being tethered to a leash, and/or where she has someone who has more time to spend playing with her.
