Why I need a new home

Behavioral issues

My story

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

Frank is a kind, loving dog. He was raised his whole life by my parents on our farm, until last March. He did have a problem at home chasing after cats and not responding when called. When he moved in with me last March, he moved from a large farm to a small apartment. He had trouble adjusting to apartment life, and he didn't get along well with my roommates dogs. He can get along with other dogs, but in a neutral environment over time. His main struggle is meeting new animals. As he gets to know them, he is less defensive and more relaxed.
He loves being around people, and loves attention. He loves playing and going on walks, and exploring the area. He loves to meet new people, and is great with kids. I am a college student who is working full time. I no longer have the time to devote to train Frank or give him the attention he needs. He is an incredible, kind, loving dog and I love him very much. He deserves to find a home that can give him the love and attention he needs.
