Why I need a new home

My story

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

Once I saw Benny, I knew he was a puppy mill victim.He was covered in mats and feces and the smell was unbearable.I got him cleaned/groomed/seen by vet and we bonded as much as he would let me, and things were nice.This was during covid and I was blessed to have him as a companion.After almost a year together my children moved into the home as well. Benny did not like that one bit and long story short, he's once again covered in mats and feces and I cannot afford him financially or emotionally. He deserves a better life than this. He can be a good dog, he just needs a reset of sorts.I feel that being in this home is hurtful to him, I can explain better verbally if possible but the fact of the matter is that Benny will never be happy in my home.I want him to get a fresh start, I think he would be more friendly and loving under different circumstances.
