I am desperate to place a year old greyhound mix male puppy in a good home with a loving family. I rescued this young dog from the shelter and brought him home hoping he would provide companionship to our German Shepherd. The rescue dog, named Sneaky Pete, has been a dream. He is very sweet and has been fairly easy to train. The problem is, despite all my efforts and strategies, our Shepherd is constantly picking fights. What began as a few snips here and there, has escalated to a point where I have to keep both of them separate at all times. They can't even play together without a fight breaking out. Each dog, by himself, is a great pet. The both of them, together, are making my life a stressful nightmare. Pete is great with children, very affectionate and gentle. He is interested in cats, but non-aggressive towards them. He is a hearty eater, not particular or finicky in the least. Pete seems to be in good health. He has learned in the short time I have had him to sit, lay down, stay (for short periods, needs work), to come, and to wait. With practive, Pete will learn to walk well on a leash. This little boy deserves a loving home where he isn't constantly under attack. He currently sleeps next to my bed, happy as can be with a soft cushion in a warm place. I will screen anyone who is interested in him. He is my responsibility and I will stop at nothing to ensure he is happy, well cared for, and loved. Do not flame me for having to give away a pet. It has been a really awful decision to make. My phone number is: 492-3518.
