My story

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

Snowball is a great dog with good, loving temperament. He is excellent with our kids and very patient. Snowball loves being with his owners, but our young children have been hard on him. He has not been aggressive with them, but he simply does not want to be in our house because the infants constantly grab and pull on his fur. Snowball's biggest challenge for his next owner is that he sometimes pees in the house. It is not incontinence; he is marking. We have been using diapers and he generally does not pee in them if you let him outside reasonably often. Without a diaper on, he will mark. He may be able to be trained out of it with enough attention, but we have been unable to provide that at a sufficient level for him. He will be a great dog for someone who can give him the attention he deserves.
