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:


River is approximately two years old, approximately 40lbs and was originally adopted from Animal Friends July 2025. He is a very sweet dog, good with other dogs and children. He likes car rides, walks, and needs a fenced-in yard. He will try to escape through the front door, but will come to you if opening the car door. He also likes to take things off of counters and will steal your food, so things have to be put away until he grows out of this phase (common with puppies/young dogs). Both dogs have been able to get rather well until just recently. We have to re-home because our other dog is very possessive, and gets very jealous if River gets near me, and will start the fight. I was bitten by my other dog when trying to break them up, but River is not the aggressor. I am extremely saddened for having to surrender River, but I fear that my other dog will hurt him, and we've had to separate them on numerous occasions. River will make a great companion for someone.
