Behavioral issues

My story

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

Skeeter is an 8 year old hairy hairless Chinese Crested adopted 4 years ago from a rescue. He needs a single person household where there are no children, few visitors and few stressors in his life. He has fear related and anxiety issues for which he is on twice daily medications. With the person he trusts, he is a sweet and lovable dog. When I am home alone with him he is a quiet, happy guy. Around anyone else, he does not feel safe, is unpredictable, and may bite. He currently has a dog buddy and would do well with another chill dog in his home. He spends a good deal of his day sleeping in or out of his crate or on my lap.

Reason for rehoming him - He is scared of my husband. This fear translates into barking and avoidance when he is out of his crate and most recently a bite. With medication and working with a behavioral specialist, his behavior has improved somewhat but not enough for either Skeeter or my husband to be comfortable.
