Not good with kids, House-trained,

Story

3 years old and 57#. He has lived in an apt with me for last 2 years. He is owner trained to assist for mobility, as I am disabled. He needs a new home, because of owner health issues. He was adopted at 1 yr and was very shy. He has learned a lot over the last 2 yrs. He has been living a quiet life in a large 2 bd apt. He is suited for apartment living and is XXL crate trained for when I leave. He will go in the crate if I ask him or when he senses I will be going out. He is calm in the crate, as observed on camera. I have never heard him bark, even when someone knocks on the door. He will heel perfectly at a walk, ride elevators, carry mail, pick up certain things for you, etc. He needs a quiet home with maybe a retired woman and no others, who can give him 4 walks a day. I think he may jump fences or escape a yard, if left alone. He has growled at a small child visitor. He needs time to warm up to you. He is not a socialite. He is a cuddler. Will travel 100 mi to deliver.
