Why I need a new home

Behavioral issues

My story

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

Marshmello is 10 months old. She’s a loving sweet dog but she’s deaf which has been a challenge which is why I’m looking for someone with experience. It was fine when she was smaller because she was easier to control but she’s so big and doesn’t know her own strength. She knocks over our kids and has bit them and drew blood a few times. It wasn’t out of agression but out of excitement and trying to play. But because of this I don’t want her going to a home with children. She is easily excited and jumps on everyone and everything. Because she’s deaf we have taught her sign language for basic commands. Whenever we take her out she needs to stay on her 30 foot leash because she can’t hear us calling for her and she bolts as soon as she sees another person or dog. She gets along with other dogs but no dogs want to play with her because all she wants to do is jump on them. She needs to be walked/ran at least once a day because of her high energy or she’ll get destructive.
