Pax is a sweet dog. I am devastated to have to do this but he has pretty bad separation anxiety and I have two kids diagnosed with autism and I don't have a partner who can help me. He can't be left alone at this point for very long. He needs someone who can take the time to train him as he needs to be trained. I love him so much and I also don't think at this point that I can give him what he needs. He goes to daycare, plays at the park and the beach. He is leash reactive at times, so we don't greet other dogs on leash.
