Story
We have had Prince since he was about 12 weeks old. He is now 2 years old amd he has anxiety. He is the sweetest loving dog I have ever had and I want to give him the best home I can,but he keeps picking a fight with my other dog sometimes for no reason at all I have not had a problem for over a month now..for other dogs safety I have been keeping them apart most of the time, but times that I haven't I have had no problem but I have 2 other dogs and I'm about to have a baby here soon and I just don't want nothing to happen. He is house trained for when people are home. When we are not he is kinnal trained, any tip of cloth material he will destroy when it is in his house, He loves kong toys,He loves outside, loves to cuddle, if you could possibly have a fenced in yard so he could run that would be awesome. I just want him to be loved and cared for like I want to for him. Please help me find this handsome baby a good home
