Why I need a new home

Busy schedule

My story

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

Pippin is a loving, energetic, and sensitive pup. He is 4 years old. We adopted him from Best Friends Animal Sanctuary in Kanab. We were told he was born on and roamed around a Native American Reservation with his siblings and mother (white Pit Bull). His father was a white Labrador Retriever. Initially he was reserved and skittish, but after being in a stable home with persistent training, he began to open up. He needs gentle training; he becomes withdrawn and very cautious with loud commands and any forceful pulling. He likes running off-leash; however, he gets very excited when he sees horses and moose. He plays hard with dogs and some have been intimidated by that. He is so patient and loving with infants and kids. We have never seen him snarl or snap at anyone. He is typically a quiet dog, but he does howl when he really wants something and is trying to communicate with you. He has brought us so much joy, but now with two young children we sadly don't have the time he deserves.
