Why I need a new home

Relocating

My story

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


I will be good with female dogs but not another male dog. He actually adores people and thinks they've been put on Earth to pet him. He does not like being left alone very much but it is okay if it's for a few hours. He is deathly afraid of water because he does not know how to swim. He got bumped into my pool one time and he only paddles with his front feet not his back. I've had him since he was 5 years old and I think he was traumatized at some point when he was younger. He likes to go for walks and riding the car and he will be your best buddy and be with you all the time. He does counter surf. Makes you keep your counters clean haha. I let him on our furniture and he likes to sleep on the corner of the bed, but if you lock him out of the bedroom he's fine and doesn't whine at all. Loves his treats. Knows how to open sliding doors that are not locked. Needs a backyard that is fenced in. He currently has two female border collies as buddies. Probably not good with cats.
