Why I need a new home

Behavioral issues

My story

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


Benson is a sweet and loving boy. However, I’ve noticed some behavioral issues that has left me nervous about bringing him around my other dogs again and my roommates little dog. He really needs a one person owner who doesn’t have any other pets and land where he can just run around outside or have a purpose. Unfortunately I just can’t give that to him. He also has some skin conditions since we moved to Nashville that I think are due to his anxiety from having to be separated from my other dogs. He doesn’t get the attention he deserves. I want him to go to a loving home where one owner can just love on him because he is a sweet boy. The vet gave me prescribed shampoo, anxiety meds, and recommendations for allergies. He is currently up to date on all shots for 3 years and has a 6 mo supply of trifecta which is the 3 in one so covers heart guard, ticks, and fleas. I only put an adoption fee to cover the listing costs and to make sure he goes to a good home.
