Behavioral issues

My story

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

Fitzgerald (Fitz) is a sweet boy who doesn't shed! He loves long walks and is a sleeper. He is about 4years old and we have had him since he was a puppy. He is on 60mg of Prozac for anxiety. He is reactive and resource guards people and places. He is very protective of me and has bitten my 60 year old mother a few times when we are both in the kitchen and come in contact with one another. The vet believes he does not need to be put down but could benefit from a fresh start. He is ok with other dogs, but some times they stress him out. He is good with cats. Given his history I would recommend a home with no children or dogs. I can no longer keep him.
