Why I need a new home

Behavioral issues

My story

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

Pippy is a 11/2 year old chiweenie. I recently adopted her and she is not a good fit for our family. She has bonded quickly with me and is sweet and cuddly and playful. She had never been outside before and was puppy pad trained. She has done amazingly well with housetraining but isn't 100% there yet.
The problem is she is not good with kids. I have grandchildren that are here often and she growls at them. She also has tried to bite them if I hug them or pick them up. She also tries to bite my husband if he gets too close to me. She has not actually bitten anyone but I'm fearful she would bite one of my grandkids.
I think she would be a great companion for someone that's by themselves. I wish I could keep her as she is great with me. She's low energy and loves to snuggle and be petted.
