What is Rehome?
If you see pets listed by a private owner, it means that they’re adoptable through Adopt a Pet’s Rehome program – the safe and reliable way to find a loving new home for your pet.
Sammy will be 5 yrs old March 2025. He is healthy and lovable. He loves dogs and people except he lunges and barks at children, cyclists, and tall men. Sammy barks at people when he's in the yard.
When Sammy was 1 1/2, his owner left him at a shelter in southern Virginia. I adopted him. He has serious separation anxiety. If I leave him home for as little as 5 or 10 minutes, he barks, yowls, and cries pitiously and nonstop. He is anxious but puts up with dog day care if there are many dogs. If I leave him with a family member he hides and will not eat or drink for hours. I have tried prozac, gabapentin, and trazadone without luck. I have worked with a specialist in separation anxiety, but I lack the patience to continue the training.
The ideal owner would be a dog trainer with extreme patience who loves Sammy and embraces the challenge of desensitization training.
