I bought my dog from a breeder when he 3 moths old that I later found out was abusing him. He is now 5 years old, German Shepard/ husky mix and has some behavioral issues and doesn't really trust anyone and he's good with the dogs in my house but recently my mom dog and him have been attacking each other which is a big reason why I would like to find a home for him. He's also not good with children and there are three children in my house which doesn't allow him to get out of my room as much as I would like him to. Also with my busy schedule he doesn't get enough attention or play time as I would like for him.The type of home I would like him to go to is one that can give him the love and attention he needs and preferably one that is good with dogs that have behavioral issues. The Adjectives I would use to describe my dog are clever, loyal, nervous, silly, rambunctious, moody, fluffy, and tough.
