Why I need a new home

Fostered

My story

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


My wife and I rehomed a 3-1/2-yr-old male, neutered Border Collie (Archie) a couple of months ago. Things were fine at first, or as fine as one would expect for a dog that lived outside most of its life and was being rehomed. We picked him up due to a neighbor dispute where he would otherwise have had to be put down. He has bonded well with me, but unfortunately has on several occasions shown some aggression towards both my wife and 13-yr-old daughter. In any normal circumstances, I would deal with this with training and such, but our situation is rather chaotic at the moment, involving an urgent move and some family drama that has made things very difficult and unsettled. I have no doubt this contributes to the dog's difficulties, but unfortunately we are unable to deal with everything at this time and my wife and daughter are feeling unsafe; this naturally exacerbates the situation with the dog. He is generally good-natured but we aren't able to deal with everything right now.
