My story

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

We adopted Watson from Harbor Humane Society when he was 7 months old (now 22mo). He is a sweet boy who loves to cuddle (thinks he's a lap dog) and play. He's completely house trained and does well in his crate for shorter periods of time. He is incredibly smart, and food motivated. Watson loves to run, play fetch, play with other dogs, and go for walks (although leash training is still a work in progress).

Watson struggles with some anxiety/reactivity. We live in an extremely busy area, in the middle of a college campus, and have found that the foot traffic outside causes anxiety for our sweet boy. He has recently shown some strong fear responses of aggression toward young children. As we will soon be welcoming grandchildren into our family, this is something that has caused us to realize that WE are not the right fit for him. We are incredibly sad about this, but we feel strongly that he deserves a home that causes him less anxiety & fear and does not have young children.
