Why I need a new home

Behavioral issues

My story

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


This is Booboo! He's about 8 months old, is neutered, and is just the sweetest thing when he isn't nervous. We adopted him from an animal shelter when he was just a puppy and didn't have the time nor resources to properly socialize him as we should have. With this, he can be very anxious around new people and especially other dogs which can lead to him being snippy, but he just needs warmed up to. He does well with being mainly house-trained but he does have accidents occasionally. He's a bundle of joy when he feels at home and loves to play.
I labeled his purpose for rehoming as a behavioral issue because when he's anxious, he doesn't know what to do but growl/bark. However, I'm moving out soon into an apartment and know he will be very overstimulated and maybe even aggressive in this situation, especially being in such a tight unit with my roommates. We unfortunately can't afford a behaviorist for him, either. For anyone who is experienced with nervous dogs, please reach out!
