Story
Shadow was a rescue that my husbands former boss adopted, after a while his boss gave shadow to us as we were experienced pet owners. As we had shadow we have moved several times and have had a baby. When we had our baby we noticed shadow was becoming more aggressive and jealous. We tried to work with him, showing we loved them equally, and tried to train him again but he become more stubborn and jealous, leading to him not listening anymore with house rules. After some careful thoughts and tears we decided it would be better to re-home him, as we had gotten tired of his aggressiveness and cleaning up after him. We believe he would be better suited for a home with no children, or a home with older kids and a family that wants to be smothered in his love. Shadow always loves a good backyard and squirrels, along with walks and loves of cuddles.

Story
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.
