Why I need a new home

Human health issues (e.g. allergies, sickness)

My story

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

I was born on March 21, 2016. I am mostly white, with a few dark spots, and I have yellow eyes. I am fairly large, weighing about 14 pounds, but I am not overweight. I love to run through the house and play, frequently trying to get my human parents to chase me. I have lived in two different homes since I was adopted in 2016, but I have never had an accident and adapt quickly to the new environment. My parents were retired when I was adopted and we live somewhat far from friends and family. I am subsequently shy around other people, usually hiding when strangers are present, but watching their every move from one of my hiding places. Since moving to Belleville a couple of years ago, a good friend of our family has started visiting us regularly and I like being around him, usually coming out when I hear his voice so he can pet me. My parents give me Temptations treats at 4:00 p.m. every day. Near that time, I find a place between them and the TV and start staring at them as a reminder.
