Why I need a new home

Infant, young children or pregnancy

My story

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

Raina is 2 years old and has been a nervous dog since the day we adopted her. Strangers, especially men, make her very nervous and she doesn’t always do well with children. She has nipped at our kids when she is overwhelmed by their movement. The vet says her herding instincts coupled with her anxiety makes a home with children very nerve racking. We have to rehome her because she makes us two nervous around our children and we would love her to have a home where she feels content. I think she would do well with a single woman or possibly even a couple. It takes her time to warm up to men. She is hit or miss with other dogs, but seems to do well with quiet mild mannered dogs and has never been around cats. She loves to chase birds in our yard (never catches them just loves the chase lol) and play fetch. Once the kids are in bed and she can relax she really warms up to my husband. So I think with the children out of the equation she might do better with men in the home.
