Why I need a new home

Infant, young children or pregnancy

My story

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

We got Hunter as a puppy and about a month or so later found out I was pregnant. As I got farther along in the pregnancy it became more difficult to walk him or take him to the dog park because he is a very large dog. Then the baby came and it became extremely hard on us to give him the attention/maintenance he needed both working full time and caring for a new baby. As soon as our baby was crawling; his high energy and the constant shedding also soon became a problematic. We had asked for outside help before from our parents/dog walkers etc. However, there have been talks about re-locating him to a better home for quite sometime. Every time it was brought up, came a lot of guilt and feelings of defeat and we would then talk ourselves out of it saying we just need to try harder to give him more time. Fast forward four years later, I am now 8 months pregnant with our second child and I fear what's to come with a newborn and a toddler. We will soon have even less time for him.
