Why I need a new home

Behavioral issues

My story

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


Shadow was a rescue that my husbands former boss had adopted, after his boss decided to give the dog to us as we are both experienced pet owners. He has been living with us for about 4-5 years now, which makes him 7 years old in April, and in that time we have moved several times and had a baby. As we grew our family we saw subtle changes in Shadow and he started to become more jealous and aggressive. We thought we could work with him to help him learn we loved everyone equally and that we were still going to pay attention to him as well, but he just kept having jealous burst and would nip at our daughter when too close. After a while we decided he needed a new home as we were becoming tired of his aggressiveness to her. I believe he needs a childfree home or a family with older kids and parents who can be smothered in love and affection from Shadow. He loves a good backyard and other animals/toys to chase, along with lots of pets and cuddles.
