Why I need a new home

Behavioral issues

My story

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

Beardley was found abandoned and we adopted him from a foster. We have had him for a little over 5 months. The vet estimated his age at 1-3 years old. He is vaccinated, neutered, and microchipped.

Beardly is very intelligent and has picked up commands (sit, stay, take it) with relative ease. We have 2 young cats. He mostly ignores the cats but does not like it if they are playing too close to him.

We have worked with a trainer because Beardly has a behavior the trainer calls "resource guarding". He guards all sorts of different things- places, objects, and sometimes people. Some examples are: his bed, our hall leading to the back of the house, food, trash, toys, our bedroom (which he is no longer allowed in), and most significantly- my wife.

Beardly needs an owner with lots of patience. I would not recommend a home with children. He is fine around other animals but probably not ones with high energy if they would try to play with him. He very much needs lots of personal space.
