Why I need a new home

My story

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

We are looking for a very loving home for our beloved 4-year-old mutt Orvie (short for Orville). He is loyal, affectionate, well-trained, and playful with no bad habits. He is a beautiful boy that we adopted from the SPCA at 11 weeks. We have only fed him the best food and have 100% maintained his vet, heartworm and flea/tick needs. He is tall and leggy at 80ish pounds. He is used to three to seven 45-60 min walks per week, sheds a lot in spring, loves lying in comfortable spots like beds and couches, and really enjoys outdoor time (but refuses to swim!). When going on trips we have used a dogsitter who loves and knows Orvie, but early on we took him to a few local boarders and he can handle that too.

We are rehoming him because even after significant training, being around children gives him a lot of stress and he has consistently shown aggression toward our toddler, and we have another baby on the way.

Ideal home is an older couple/single who lives rural, not in city.
