Why I need a new home

Does not get along with another pet

My story

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

Boomerang is an extremely lively dog. Sadly, despite being told otherwise from the location we got him from, he does not do well with cats, nor dogs he does not actively live with. We’ve tried unsuccessfully for five months to make it work. This means that as much as it breaks our hearts, we can no longer provide Boomerang with the kind of space and exercise he needs as he needs to be confined in our house for safety reasons. He is extremely smart and knows several tricks (sit, shake, lay, turn) and is incredibly curious. He requires an active family with no cats and plenty of space to move around. He has done well with a dog that was already present in our home, but is reactive to dogs anywhere else. He needs someone who can control him in these situations as it becomes almost impossible to regain his attention once he sees another dog. He is also not traditionally affectionate (we’re not sure what kind of home he was raised in) but very clearly cares about those he lives with.
