Why I need a new home

Behavioral issues

My story

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


Rocco was a lovable rescue puppy from Tennessee. He is almost 7years old. He must have gone through some trauma before he was adopted at 4 months, as he was terrified of men & very skittish. Eventually he settled in & loved everyone. He was the only pet to a young couple. He is very well trained, loyal, sweet, loves people & gets along well with other dogs. Couple since had 2 children. Dog fine w/kids. When the Wife's Dad flew in to visit (Had not been there in a year) the Dad got between Rocco & child holding food & he bit the Dad's hand. It did break the skin & it bled. He did not seek medical attention. Since this incident exactly one year ago, Wife does not trust him around any children. He is outside or in another room of the house at all times that the kids are up. He is allowed back in the main house after they are in bed. Shelters will not take him due to the 1 bite. Wife refuses to trust him around kids. Husband loves dog & does not want him put down.
