Story
Yoshi is a sweet 8 year old Shiba Inu who has been part of our family since 2018. He is a Velcro dog who loves nothing more than snuggling and getting pets. He has become increasingly anxious around our toddler and despite our best efforts (Rx anxiety medication, CBD, and consulting with a behaviorist) he is still uncomfortable living with a small child. It is not fair to continue to subject him to this environment as his anxiety attacks have worsened and become more frequent. While he has never acted out or tried to bite, we are very concerned that he is living in a perpetual state of discomfort. This is an incredibly tough decision for us to make, as we believe pet ownership is a lifetime commitment. Yoshi shows no anxiety symptoms when our toddler is at school and would likely do well in a home with older children (middle school aged and above). Again, he has shown ZERO aggression but we know in our hearts that the current living situation is not humane or sustainable for him.
