Why I need a new home

Behavioral issues

My story

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


Pearl was a part of 70 different Australian shepherds that Had to be rehomed. Her previous owner was a breeder, and it obviously got out of control and he was evicted from his home, He ended up having to rehome all of his Australian Shepherds. We took her as she seemed very friendly, And she is with females, and my two young girls, But unfortunately, she has behaviors that we have not been able to fix males. She is house trained, But when she gets scared, she does have accidents. Pearl truly is a sweet girl, and if it wasn’t for the pressure of my husband to rehome her due to the fact that she has bit him in the past, and has not been getting better with him no matter what steps we do to resolve it. Him and I both work full-time jobs, And obviously with the two kids, We have not been able to devote all of our time to her. I feel as though Home, without a male presence or constant male presence would be good for her. She gets kind of nervous around other dogs but does well after awhile
