Why I need a new home

Human health issues (e.g. allergies, sickness)

My story

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

Rickon is a great dog but would be best with someone who is possibly work from home, stay at home or retired. My husband and I got him when I was in college and have always been around with him mostly during the day. Since then I've had 2 children and recently I've had to start working outside the home. He was home alone long hours during the day and started misbehaving so we started to kennel him during the day. This just isn't a great life anymore for Rickon and we are hoping we can find someone who has more time to spend with him. Rickon has been through a training program although we didn't hold up the training on our end. He is smart though and has retained small commands like Kennel up! or Sit. He is the most lovable dog always wanting to snuggle and be as close to you as possible. He likes to play tug of war with humans or other dogs. He likes to swim and be active and will even run alongside a jogger.
