Why I need a new home

Infant, young children or pregnancy

My story

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

Riley is a very sweet and loveable boy. He is good with other pets and with children. However, there have been 2 occasions that he snipped at my 2 year olds face when startled from his sleep, which is why I have to re-home him. He is otherwise super playful with children. I would only feel comfortable rehoming him to a family with older kids or no children at all. There have been zero aggressive behaviors from him. He never snipped hard enough to break the skin. It does appear that he may have been abused prior to my family adopting him as he is a bit skittish around some men. It hurts my heart as he really is a sweet pup. He was really attached to my teenaged niece while she resided with us. He loved to lay in her lap. Again, there are no other behavioral issues unless startled from his sleep which only began in the last couple of months and we've had him for over a year.
