Why I need a new home

Behavioral issues

My story

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

I fostered this dog to get it out of an abusive situation where children were grabbing him by the neck, pulling his tail and generally being mean to him. As a result, he is skittish of people he doesn't know, but especially dislikes children.

Initially, he also didn't like things around his neck or to have his tail messed with. I was never intended to have it be my permanent dog, but felt like I needed to rehabilitate him a bit before finding someone to adopt him. He has since gotten a lot better, but can still be a bit erratic when nervous. He allows me to pet him and gently put my hands on his neck and play with his tail. He still needs work, but is on the recovery to being a 'normal' dog. He is still apprehensive with strangers, but once he knows someone, he is their very best friend.

He is a true lap dog as his favorite thing is to lay on you, or next to you while on the couch. If you pet him while he lays there, he really loves that and belly rubs too.
