Why I need a new home

Relocating

My story

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

Riley is a 9 year old Silky Terrier (purebred). He’s full of energy and requires lots of attention. He does suffer from separation anxiety, someone who is retired/home a lot would be best. My wife and I both work long hours and feel it’s unfair for him to be cooped up all day. We have a three year old and another on the way and feel we are unable to give him the attention he needs. Because he has a history of seizures he takes daily medicine, last seizure was months ago. When he was younger he had surgery to correct his “Luxating Patella” a condition in which the patella/kneecap moves out of its normal location. When indoors he is great with other dogs and kids. He does get nervous around other dogs while on walks. He was attacked during a walk and required stitches. He made a full recovery but he is still anxious around other dogs. We always avoided walking past them or would go in a different direction. Outside and off leash he is great. He will venture around but will not run away
