Why I need a new home

Does not get along with other pet

My story

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

We’re looking to find the perfect home for a very special 2-year-old pup. He’s potty trained, loves walks, enjoys playtime, and is full of personality once he trusts you.

Unfortunately, he’s had a rough past — in his previous home, small children poked and startled him, and it’s left him sensitive about certain kinds of touch. He doesn’t do well with young kids and needs a calm, adult-only home with someone patient and understanding. He’s also wary of feet and may react if accidentally touched with them, so he’ll do best with someone who can give him space and positive structure.

He’s incredibly sweet once he feels safe, and he deserves a home where he can truly thrive. My mom took him in with good intentions but isn’t able to meet his needs right now.

💛 Rehoming fee waived for the right home — we just want to make sure he’s loved and well cared for.

If you’re experienced with dogs and want to give this sweet boy a second chance, please message me!
