Why I need a new home

Relocating

My story

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


This is heartbreaking. Im moving soon, leaving my work-from-home career, and going back into an office full time everyday. I cannot leave my dog alone all day to dwindle. He needs lots of love, attention and activity, daily.

Shadow needs an experienced handler, familiar with the breed. I've had him since he was a puppy and took great strides to keep him active and social. I've trained him off leash for years to obey most directional commands and he has been trained on leash as well.

Shadow is a very loving dog, but I think he is needy, too. Very intelligent and very ready to play and interact.

He is also territorial and possessive. He loves his ball but can be aggressive if another large dog approaches him when both are off leash and Shadow is protecting his ball. He's never hurt another dog or person but he can seem intimidating to the wrong person.

Shadow and my roommates dog are great friends and want him to have at least another dog companion. More to say but out of space.
