Why I need a new home

Behavioral issues

My story

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

Hello, my name is Riley. I’m a 4 year old neutered male who lost my human best friend back in September to this awful virus that they call covid. His wife tried very hard to keep me and fill his shoes, but she had a failed spine surgery and she doesn’t get around too well anymore. I’m too much for her to keep up with and she wants me to have a home where I can be happy again.
My pros:
🐶I’m pad trained since I’ve always been an indoor dog
🐶I love car rides
🐶I’ve loved the outdoors when I’ve had time outside
🐶I love sharing a bed or recliner with you
🐶I love playing tug of war and fetch
🐶I’m good with older kids(I’m used to 9&up)
🐶I think that I’m a guard dog and bark at any sound outside(this is also a con for some though)
🐶I’m good with other dogs after I warm up to them

My cons:
🐶I hate dog food and prefer human food
🐶I bully cats
🐶I get inpatient when my people come over and I run out the door to greet them one by one
🐶I need to be trained to potty outside
