My story

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

Io has been our family dog for the last 7 years. He is incredibly affectionate and cuddly. He weighs in at 27 pounds and is 3/4 Boston Terrier and 1/4 Boxer. We have papers for him, as we adopted him when he was one. We have taken Io on many camping, hiking and family adventures. He is agile and loves to be active, yet still is happy to cuddle with you if you want a lazy day.

One year ago we adopted another puppy for our 10 year old son. That puppy is now 68 pounds. The two dogs get along 99% of the time, however Io has started to resource guard and has attacked the larger dog over something simple (like a dropped chip). The larger dog defends himself, and Io has sustained injuries as a result. We have spent a lot of time with a trainer to try to get both to cohabitate, but the reality is, it’s safer for both boys to be in separate homes.

Io would do best in a home where he was the only dog, or a home with a dog that is his same size. He has cohabitated with other dogs in the past.
