Why I need a new home

Behavioral issues

My story

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


This is our boy Archie. He is four years old. He’s always been a sweet loving boy but, has never been good with hectic surroundings. He is very selective on the dogs and people that he likes, but when he likes them, he really does. He tends to be reactive at times. I have a one and a half-year-old and have been trying for that long to get him used to her. He liked her until she started moving around and making noise. He has also attacked my cats many times, but only when they are being crazy. I noticed he’ll do well until there is hyperactivity I’ve tried to train him out of it myself, but it hasn’t worked. My daughter fell out of the highchair, and, in the middle of all the chaos, he ended up attacking my thigh. He has never bit before, and I think the chaos of the situation made him react that way. He growls at my daughter when she’s running up to him. He needs a kid free place, someone who can work with him on his issues. I love him so much but he is a danger to my child.
