My story

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

We adopted Higgins from a shelter and they guessed his age at 3 yrs. His behavior makes me think he’s more like 1 year. He is a super sweet dog, loves cuddles and will follow you around the house. Loves being at your side. Mostly house trained. He has a lot of separation anxiety and some general anxiety when outside. I have crated him when out of the house because of the separation anxiety. That’s when he will soil in the house, but he is fine when I’m home. Very puppy-like behavior. He gets excited, jumps, and can be mouthy.l. I have a toddler he is great with, but jumps a lot. He gets along with my cat, but due to his want to play and excitement, the cat does not like him. Barks at other dogs and people on walks. Sometimes gets nervous when pooping and needs to feel safe before he will go. Needs someone who is willing to work with him on the anxiety and the puppy-like behavior. He’s a lover and wants nothing more than pets and snuggles. Willing to include toys, bed, crate, food, etc
