Why I need a new home

Behavioral issues

My story

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

Gwen is a sweet and loving staffordshire who was rehomed to us at around 7 months old. We were told by Gwen's previous owner that they got her from a rescue and that she had been abused. After Gwen came to live with us more of her issues became evident, such as, high anxiety, skiddish and difficulty house breaking. We reached out to the original owner for more information and vet records and at that point communication was cut off, we were essentially ghosted. We have worked with Gwen on housebreaking and going potty outside with no lasting results. Gwen will sometimes go outside and sometimes just not go outside. She hasn't responded to positive reinforcement and it is evident she needs more training that is beyond my skill set and ability to provide. We have two other dogs whom she gets along with well. Again, Gwen is a very sweet and loving dog, loves to snuggle and give kisses and highly anxious and at times as we call it forgets how to dog and needs the right person to show her.
