Why I need a new home

none

My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

This rescue is in need of a new home as downsizing to apartment life hasn't been the easiest transition for her. She is almost 2.5 years old. She is cute, soft, cuddly, loves fetch, and would love a household that simply wants to kick back on the couch and snuggle all day every day. She loves the beach and snow. Potty and crate trained and loves to watch TV. Truly lovable, which is why so hard to let go as we can't provide the time, training, and backyard she is in need of.

She is the pup that all our friends and family fall in love with which shows how loveable she is.

She currently lives in a household with two adults and one other dog. She is a vocal pup and will always want you to pet her and snuggle more with her. Although she is trained in general behaviors, she is in need individual sessions to fix leash reactivity, confidence, and establish boundaries with alpha as these are brand new behaviors that have surfaced after we move to our apartment. She is starting to show signs of trying to become alpha which has created tension amongst both our dogs as she is confused and trying to adjust and we simply don't have the time or energy needed to train her behaviors. She is good with dogs and people, but sometimes unsure at the beginning. Trainers say she can definitely be helped and I even have one we did a consult with that I would highly recommend using with her to form your new bond.

Medical: She is Incontinent but is on meds which has stabilized her. She needs 1 MG Diethylstilbestrol every 5 days which makes it completely under control and is very cheap.
Due to joint soreness in knees and hips we give her joint supplements daily which have provided a great improvement and now seems to not have any issues! Carpet for her is always a plus!

We are looking for a home that can provide stability, raise her confidence level again, and simply will love her the rest of her life. It's so hard to say goodbye because of all of her amazing traits but we know she will be more comfortable elsewhere and hope you can consider our loveable girl.
