Houdini is an amazing dog willing to give a whole lot of love to the right family or person. He loves going outside and laying around in the house. He's very used to sleeping in the bed with someone or sitting on the couch if you're lounging around. We adopted him from Wake County Animal Center a couple months back and wish we could keep him but simply cannot. He has severe separation anxiety and our schedules are just too busy. He warms up to new people very quickly and again is very friendly. He has chipped 3 of his canines from chewing on his kennel while we were away due to his anxiety. He doesn't do this anymore but is just an example of what he has done. We hope this finds the right people who can take him in and provide him with the attention and care that he needs.
