Needs loving patient home ASAP
Peaches is a really sweet boy and very well behaved when given the proper supervision and attention. I can no longer watch him be neglected by my mother and I am getting a new job/back to school and cannot be here all the time to make sure he isn’t left outside without water. He does not have his shots and is is an intact male, I do not have the money to care for him as I already have animals I'm paying for but I cannot watch this anymore. I am the only one who gives him real attention and when he sees me he cries because he is so attention deprived. He is yelled at for easily preventable behavior and it has caused him to have some anxiety issues. He gets left outside at hours at a time when I am either sleep or not home or unaware I’ve found him left outside for hours without food or water since his sister (my puppy) passed. When with me he has no accidents and is a perfect boy. He needs to go to someone with the time and patience to help him, and the money to provide him his medical needs. I don't want him going to a home where he isn't given attention or left alone too long because of his anxiety issues and being neglected by his person. He is good with cats his only thing is sometimes he'll neglect personal space because he wants them to play with him and sometimes he'll cry at the cats but zero aggression with felines. He has only been around one other dog and that was his sister who was my puppy who passed due to my mothers actions/decisions, which is another reason I need to find him a new home. All he wants is attention and to be by your side, he is very well behaved and sweet. His sister was extremely intelligent, very well behaved, and pretty much fully trained before I tragically lost her in early August. With work I believe Peaches can do just as good as his sis. Pls msg me if interested so I can further describe his situation.
