Why I need a new home

Behavioral issues

My story

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

Ronaldo came into our life in an odd way. He was a gift from my father-in-law to our daughter. My wife and I are not dog people (more cat folks) and weren't really given much of a choice in taking him on. Considering that perhaps we didn't do some of the hard work necessary to get better behavioral results. That being said he has been our life for 10 years and we have unfortunately reached a point where the cons/liability outweighs the pros of having him in our home.

Main concerns:
1) Behavior towards other dogs: Ronaldo is super aggressive towards most all other dogs even though he is smaller than most other dogs. Because of his size he is quite good at darting out of the house, sometimes without us knowing. He will then accost the first person/dog that comes by.
2) Accidents in the house: Ronaldo also struggles with accidents in the house. We do our best to let him out in the backyard often but he still has some trouble in this area.
