We are a young couple looking for a caring home for our senior dog West. He is 9 years old, very protective, and a wonderful guard dog. He is stunningly beautiful with a red coat with splotches of white.
We are expecting our second child and it will be difficult to also care for our two year old. West, our dog, views her as a threat because he is our protector. He barks at anyone who gets close to me, and anything that moves or makes noises outside.
The ideal situation would be someone without young children or an older couple looking for a loving dog that would serve as a companion and protector.
Please do not hesitate to message me if you have any questions or need additional information.
