Why I need a new home

Behavioral issues

My story

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

Hello, this Moby a medium sized Cairn Terrier mix. He is 7 yo, birthdate is 9/12/2018. I rescued him at 8 weeks old. He has displayed random, inconsistent bouts of aggression to other dogs for about three years now. He has been through training with some success, although not complete. The reason for rehoming now, is he attacked my other dog (again) without any warning. Besides this unpredictable behavior with other dogs, he does have some baseline anxiety especially around young children. We have a 2 yo and another baby on the way. He has never displayed aggression towards young children, just constant nervousness. Other than this issue, he is a very loving sweet dog. He loves to snuggle, and can be a very good boy. He follows most commands, is house trained, and otherwise obedient. He is of medium energy level, loves walks and to be outside but also adores direct human attention. Our family is very sad to be in this situation but have to protect our children and other dog.
