Why I need a new home

Infant, young children or pregnancy

My story

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


Adopted from a breeder as a puppy. My wife has had her for 14/15 years. We have 2 going on 3 kids now and don't give her the love and attention she deserves, so want her to go to a nice home where she can do the things she likes to do best, which is snuggle on something soft, lick feet (no idea why she started that), and eat tasty food.

She is gentle and sweet, but if approached with any trepidation she will sense it and get nervous, and most likely snap. Although she is not a biter. A confident touch will develop a strong relationship quickly and then there will be no fear.

She can be playful and silly sometimes but she's getting on so she prefers to just hang out. She prefers company to being left alone and is more at home sleeping on your bed than in a cage.
