Why I need a new home

Infant, young children or pregnancy

My story

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


Tori is a 6yoF who’s been a loving companion. We are heartbroken that we cannot continue to give her the life she deserves.

Tori is loyal, obedient trainable. She loves to run and swim, with natural herding instincts. Vaccinated, spayed, heartworm/parasite coverage, no other meds or special diet.

We’ve struggled with anxiety/reactivity to other dogs after she was attacked at a daycare. She’s never attacked another dog but she keeps us on edge. Unfortunately, I work 80 hrs/week and our 1yo son who keeps my wife quite busy. We have seen improvement with a few different training approaches but haven’t maintained consistency.

Additionally, she was jealous when we brought our son home. In one resource guarding instance, she bit my wife's hand as she put herself between Tori and her brother. While there was no blood shed, we cannot risk something happening to our son as he grows more mobile and begins testing limits.

Happy to discuss any questions in detail. Thanks and all the best
