Why I need a new home

Behavioral issues

My story

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


Benny is 1 year and 3 months old. I adopted him from the shelter two months ago but realized he requires a lot more attention, consistent training, and outdoor space than I can provide. I am full time student and work full time so I can’t provide him the attention and space he needs. He loves to cuddle and is still learning how to fetch but loves chasing after a tennis ball. He knows the Sit command. He is great on leash but will keep his distance from other people. He is highly food motivated. Loves to sleep. He is great with dogs but cautious of people. He is crate trained. He is afraid of loud noises and is very slow and cautious about warming up to people. He appreciates his space from others he doesnt trust yet. I assume his previous owners were very hard on him as a puppy.
