Why I need a new home

Infant, young children or pregnancy

My story

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

Rocky is 9 months old. I need to find Rocky a new home because my special needs nephews live here. Their behavior issues are causing anxiety for Rocky. He’s very protective of them and he needs a less stressful household.
He is definitely a lap dog but also loves to run in the backyard. The best home for him would be where someone is home a good part of the time. He loves people and can get a bit excitable and does bark when someone comes in the house. We are working on that. He does go to the bathroom outside but due to various circumstances (outside yard/pool construction, total knee replacement of his daytime caregiver) he has been mainly using pee pads. He has not been put in a kennel but does sleep in a dog play pen in a doggie bed at night.
He’s an extremely lovable dog with a great personality.
