Why I need a new home

Infant, young children or pregnancy

My story

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


Schmidt is a sweet energetic 4-5 year old Shepard mix. He’s built like a coyote, about 35-40 pounds, very fast and agile. My wife and I took him in when a friend of ours needed to rehome him, he wasn’t getting along with their two small dogs. He was the third dog in our household (one large male mix breed and one small female mix breed). It pains me so much to have to rehome him, but with a toddler and infant on the way, it’s our best path forward. The two males will sometimes fight over food and general dominance, and it has caused me to separate them most of the time, especially with little kids around. I’m reluctant to say he should be the only dog in a household, because he was very good 99% of the time. I would describe him as reactive, his fight or flight mechanism can be triggered by other dogs. Other than that he loves the outdoors, walks and basking in the sun just about all day.
