Why I need a new home

Behavioral issues (e.g. biting, aggressive, urination)

My story

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

Sam is a Red Fox Lab. We got him at 10 weeks. Sam is very smart. He was instantly potty trained.. other than the one time he thought our Xmas tree was real. 🤔 Sam loves to shake your hand or jump up and give high-fives or lay down. He also likes to play.. sometimes when no one else wants to. Oh and if you forget that he needs water, don't worry he'll bring the bowl to you or roll it around until you get the message.
Over the last few months Sam's timidness has turned into scared aggression. He was neutered two months a This has limited visits to dog parks (doesn't play well in sandbox with group of dogs) resulting in behavior problems at home due to lack of exercise. Sam has never bit anyone but will sometimes bark like he's the mean kid on the block if he gets nervous.. (treats the vacuum cleaner the same way). Sam needs a home where he can run and play. I travel for work and my daughter works and is in college. We are not able to give him the attention that he needs.
