Need to re-home our 7 year old boy Koda. We've had him his whole life and are in a hard situation with housing in the state,county we moved to not knowing about breed restrictions. One place we were renting only allowed us to keep him because he was already there before their restrictions went into place but then our rent shot up and we could no longer afford to live there. Now getting in somewhere new has been very challenging for us. This is our last resort as we have tried everything to keep him but I have to think of my kids. We just want someone to love him like we've had over the last 7 years. Bad experience with fostering has caused a little timid behavior when he thinks he's being yelled at but no aggressive behavior. He gets a long with other dogs unless they come up to him really quick and bark or get in his space. No problem with cats and has grown up around children.
