Why I need a new home

Behavioral issues

My story

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

We got Duncan in Nov. 2020, after his mom (who was only 9 months old when she got accidentally got pregnant) had a litter of 7 puppies. His mom is a shih tzu mix and his dad is a short haired chihuahua. I had met both of his parents and they were both wonderful dogs. Duncan was born on 10/12/20 and his mom's owner did not want to care for the puppies beyond 6 weeks. I believe this has contributed to Duncan's behaviors. Duncan is loveable, but very hyperactive. He has prescribed Trazadone, in the morning and in the early afternoon, by our vet approximately 1.5 years ago and he still continues to be hyperactive. He wants to play with our older, smaller dog as well as our older cat and this creates quite a bit of stress for both of these pets. Duncan barks when we go on walks and when we are inside if he can see out the window. We have to close the shades all the time so that he doesn't bark at people passing by. He has been like a baby to me for 3 yrs and it breaks my heart to rehome him
