Why I need a new home

Infant, young children or pregnancy

My story

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

Balto is an affectionate cuddle bug who just wants to play. I brought him home when a neighbor was desperate to find an abandoned litter of puppies a home (est. birthday 3/5/19). He has some, but not all, of his first round of shots. Like most puppies, he has no sense of his real size or surroundings and is still quite floppy when he is in play mode. Unfortunately, I gauged my young children’s abilities to handle a new puppy incorrectly and need to find this sweet mix breed a good home. My 2 and 3 year olds are scared of his bouncy play and my 5 year old is too rough on him. He is sweet with them though (they just don’t understand) and gets along with my other dog. On nice days while I work he plays in the fenced backyard with my older dog and when it is gross or wet out, he is crate trained. For now he is crated at night but is almostgetting to an age in which I would not use the crate. He will make an amazing family dog and I hate to let him go... but it’s more fair to him this way.
