Why I need a new home

Behavioral issues

My story

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


This is Ryu, he is an extremely good boy and it breaks my heart to have to rehome him. It was always my plan to have him until his last breath.

The past few months he has shown behavioral changes towards my six year old son, and it has become a dangerous environment. I can not stand by and just wait for a horrible accident to happen no matter how much I love this puppy. Surrendering him to a shelter is my absolute last option.

He was born August 23rd, 2021 and I have had him since he was nine weeks old. He was given initial vaccinations by his parents owners, and unfortunately with the way life has been for our family he has not been to the vet. He is an exuberant, healthy, and ridiculously cuddly dog. He acts at if he is still in his first year of life, and he does have issue with jumping out of excitement.

He is house trained, and knows commands like sit, stay, up, down, etc. He is wary of strangers, but the perfect guard dog. He warms up fast to humans but not animals.
