Why I need a new home

Infant, young children or pregnancy

My story

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

Paxton is an incredibly loving, friendly dog who easily wins the hearts of dog and people friends alike. We’ve had him for 1.5 years (adopted him when he was 1, and we’ve done our best to give him a happy and helpful environment with lots of socializing and consistent professional training. It breaks our hearts to part with him but we are expecting our firstborn child and Pax is not ready for kids in the home. Pax is almost always quiet, easy, and sweet, but when he feels fear it can escalate to reactivity. He is super trainable in the sense that he loves training and is very food motivated, and we believe he could live a really happy life in a quieter setting, ideally around another balanced dog.
