Story
Edward joined our family as a puppy and has been raised in a household with children and other dogs, both large and small breeds. He is a loyal, affectionate dog who bonds strongly with one person but struggles with anxiety, which can make him cautious around high activity, loud noises, and unfamiliar people. Edward has shown defensive behaviors, including growling and nipping, and has occasionally broken skin. Despite this, he is loving, cuddly, and well-mannered in calm environments. However, his jealousy has led to conflicts with our other dog, resulting in medical issues. While Edward is deeply loved, we believe he would thrive in a quieter, single-pet home with someone who can give him the attention and structure he needs.
