Why I need a new home

Does not get along with other pet

My story

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

This sweet boy is Gus, he is half boxer and half pitty. He is 7 years old and is a wonderful companion. My ex-partner adopted him at 6 weeks old, one year after I adopted his older brother from the same mother. A year ago he was left solely in my care, and his main owner no longer wanted to care for him. I gladly kept him. A stray neighbor dog attacked my other dog while they were outside. It drastically changed Gus’s behavior and he became fearful of other dogs having witnessed that, and his brother needing to be separated so his injuries could heal. They struggled to completely trust each other from then on. We had to move from our home where I was able to accommodate giving each their own space. He is well trained and a great dog, he deserves a home where he is the sole pet. He does not do well with other dogs and would be very happy with anyone who can love him. His favorite snack is peanut butter and playing fetch. He loves to snuggle by your feet and curling for long naps.
