Because he is fairly large pup a family with preteen and older kids would be better than 2 old people. He likes to know where his people are and he checks up on us throughout the night. Paws on bed, then back to his own bed. He loves squeaky toys and balls. He should not have toys that are made of fake fur, fiber or fabric as he will chew it to bits and swallow some too! He loves tissues, napkins and paper; he will eat some of it too. . We are just not the right people for him unfortunately. But we love him and would rather have him safe and healthy in a home that can train him properly.
