Behavioral issues

My story

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

Is anyone looking for an adult companion who is already potty trained, trained and respects rules like only playing with her own toys or allowed on certain furniture?

Our Layla is a sweet, playful dog Jack-Chi. She will be 8 next month, approximately 20lbs and has calmed down quite a bit but is still very spry and loves to play fetch or snuggle. However, she is not good with small children. I’m heartbroken to lose my baby but for this reason we have no choice but to re-home her. We have toddlers and she does not like them, has a short temper with how they play and she snips at them unfortunately she is becoming more and more irritable with them and bit my son. She has always done fine with older kids and adults. She would do really well with someone that does not have toddlers.

We rescued her from a chihuahua rescue when she was a few weeks old and has been a great dog until we had kids. I just can’t take the chance of her biting my kids and someone getting hurt.
