Why I need a new home

Busy schedule

My story

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


I rescued this dog from his abusive male dog father. He had big bite marks on each side of his snout from his dog father biting him and later to find out also shaking him, which caused neurological damage. I was always thinking it was temporary until I could find a suitable home for him. He's a sweet dog, just has ADD and doesn't understand what you want him to do, like sit, or come. He runs free out here at my property and only comes when he feels like it and to eat. He is not good on a leash, although he has had some training. The trainer thinks she can make more progress, but I just don't have time. We have free range chickens that he chases a little, but has never hurt any of them. He's very loving to me and sweet. He sleeps all night and sometimes I let him sleep in my room with me, but most of the time he's in the garage at night.
He hasn't shown aggression to people or other dogs unless he is actively eating. I don't believe he would bite anyone, but you never know.
