Behavioral issues

My story

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

Bruce is a 4yr old Yorkie Havenese mix. He is a good boy but he has some socialization troubles and requires someone who will work very hard with training. He also requires someone who is very active as he likes to run and would likely do best in a single person home until he can be properly socialized. He struggles with strangers and has to be carefully introduced as a he is quite protective. He hasn't bit anyone but has tried to charge people/dogs in the past. Once slowly introduced to people he warms up quite quickly and some dogs he is fine with. He hasn't had issues with aggression while boarded or at the groomer so it seems like at home is where he is most protective. He has been around young kids his entire life and seems to do okay but again, he would need a slow and careful introduction to any strangers, adult or child. Looking to re-home because I feel it is not fair to him to not have the proper home where he would thrive. He is up to date on all shots.
