My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Motley is a great dog. He's great with my 17 month old, my older children (5,7,10) and is a sweet boy who just wants attention and cuddles. I know you must be thinking, "if he's so great, why would you even consider getting rid of him." The answer is, he deserves better than I can provide. Being a mom of 4, my primary responsibility is my children. Which means that often he gets put on the back burner. He's always fed and cared for when it comes to basic needs but he deserves so much more than that. I don't have a fenced in yard and most of the time it's just me at home so going outside to play with him or go on long walks isn't always an option. He has escaped my oldest daughter multiple times, sneaks out the door while the kids are going in/out and has almost been hit by cars multiple times. He will only listen to me. He will outright ignore everyone else in the house and I'm at the point that my mental health is being affected by the guilt that we just aren't the right fit for him.
