We prefer that our females can go 
into homes primarily to be the 
"only child" of the dog population
 within their new family.  
While this is not set in stone and we consider each  application for adoption on a case by case basis, our belief is that in general most adult females don't always integrate well 
into homes with other females,  particularly younger mature females, nor with mature resident females who still remain intact. 
Most resident males who live in the retiring home can usually accept a new female as a buddy, but our main goal is to place our retiring girls into a home that they can 
relax in and enjoy their new people and 
their environment, free of stress or 
concerns about fights with another female.
