Why I need a new home

Behavioral issues

My story

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

Rocky was a year old Aug 2020. We adopted him Oct 2020. He is to be a mini pitbull purebred but we have no papers. Previously he was neglected by his first owner and left in a crate in his own feces. His next owner adopted him and nursed him back to health with the sores on his underside healing. He previously with 3-4 other mini pitbulls but his owner was downsizing homes. He was mostly house broken when we got him, a few accidents in the beginning but acclimated to our family, house and routines. The reasons for giving him up are he is too protective of our house and our kids. We have two girls 9 & 11 and when someone is near them besides us he jumps up and if they continue he will bark. He has not bit anyone but is very intimidating. After the neglect, he is very anxious and unsettled in the crate. With an active life of two small ones he will be in there more during softball and he typically has accidents in the crate due to anxiety while we are gone even for an hour.
