Why I need a new home

Busy schedule

My story

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


Dyn is a 3 year old pure breed Icelandic Sheepdog. His name is Dyn, short for Dynjandi, which means thunderous in Icelandic. He is a big personality in a small package. He is very intelligent and loves to herd and loves to bark. I can't stress this point enough. He is also very loyal and his favorite trick is to roll over on his back for pets. He is a great hiker and loves being outdoors. The reason we are looking for a good home is that Dyn needs a job. My husband and I and our two kids are very busy and don't have enough time during the day to give him the job he needs. He gets bored and consequently barks a lot. Ideally if he has a job he can do with his new owners to release his energy that will be very beneficial for him. He is fine with older kids but with younger kids the movement of young kids drives him to try and heard them. Due to his energy level we feel we can't give him the life he deserves and hoping to find a home that will better suit him.
