Small Dog - Rehoming

Hillsboro OR

Description

Our family of 5 is rehoming our 10 pound male dog. The ideal adopter is: -an adult (no small children) -lives a quiet life -willingness to work with him to improve his anxiety Why our little fellow is up for adoption: -he is showing aggressive behavior towards the smallest member of our family, our 8 year old daughter (growling which just escalated to biting) -He has anxiety that we believe will improve with training & time On the bright side, he is: -super loyal to and loves the rest of the family who have had no issues with aggression -loves to play with other smaller/medium dogs once he gets acclimated -can sit, lay down, stay for a long time, shake -smart & easily trains -up-to-date on his vaccinations & has been neutered -born on July 4, 2021 so he's still young and trainable We are not willing to take a chance on the dog being even more aggressive (more serious bites), so for this reason we are rehoming him. After speaking with our vet this morning, they believe a new home, a gift card to Portland's Synergy Behavior (www.synergyhehavior.com) to cover the cost of working with a behaviorist, and exploring medication will make him nearly perfect.
