Asher is a wonderful dog with a lot of energy and enthusiasm. Unfortunately, due to our current circumstances, we are unable to provide the time and attention that he needs and deserves. His high energy levels require more exercise and engagement than we can offer, and we worry that he is not getting the quality of life he should have.

Has your dog ever shown any challenging behaviors, such as biting a person or another pet? If so, please share some context.: I want to provide some context regarding Asher's behavior. There were two incidents where his underground fence collar battery died, allowing him to escape our yard. During these times, he ran up to people and their dogs out of excitement. While he did not intentionally hurt anyone, he did leave scratches on one lady's arm after jumping on her. There are police reports documenting these incidents.

How is your dog with cats?: Not sure: Haven't had enough interaction to determine.
What's the most endearing thing about your dog?: Very friendly to people and always happy.
What criteria are important to you when considering an adoptive family or home for your pet?: I believe Asher would thrive in a home with a large yard, as he loves spending time outside. He would do best with someone who can give him plenty of attention and be consistent with his training.
Is there anything else you'd like your pet's new family to know?: I wanted to mention that Asher gets along well with our other dog, who is smaller but the alpha. He plays nicely with her, although she is a bit older and has lower energy levels, so we do need to give her breaks during their playtime.
Why are you rehoming your pet (primary reason)?: Schedule, No Time
