My story

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


Oreo's birthday is August 6, 2024. Unfortunately, he has consistently demonstrated aggressive resource-guarding behavior, specifically when he gets into human food. He will jump to take food and/or wrappers out of the trash can, off the dining table, out of your hand, etc. We've tried everything we can afford, and he continues to aggressively growl and bite if you try to take the human food away from him. He has bitten both my 10-year-old and me at this point. He appears to be extremely anxious (confirmed by groomer), so he needs someone patient and kind, with the ability to spend MULTIPLE hours every day with him. He seems to get along fine with other small dogs, but he growled and snapped at our neighbor's 40-50 lb. German Shepherd puppy when she tried to play with him. A small dog playmate to learn from may be just what he needs, but he definitely needs a home with NO CHILDREN. We have too many children in and out of our home every day to keep him here and keep them safe.
