Pluto's owners are undergoing an international move & are unable to take Pluto with them. In addition to the move, they have also been experiencing some concerning behavioral changes. Pluto has become increasingly reactive, particularly around adults, and they are growing more concerned about his behavior around their two young children. While they’ve done their best to work with him and create a safe environment, they are now genuinely worried that he might eventually snap or react unpredictably, especially as the household gets more stressful during the move.

 

More about his personality: Pluto is a very smart dog, hyper, loyal if you earn his trust, skittish, reactive, and anxious.

Additional comments from owner:

 

Pluto's behavioral issues started a few months ago. I would say he was about 1.5 years old and he is 2 now and it is getting worse. I will provide a few examples:

 

1. A family member came to visit and Pluto has met the family member a few times before. The family member was playing hide and seek with our children and the kids found the family member and there was laughing and high energy and Pluto got involved and bit the family member in the leg. This happened in our home.

 

2. We were taking Pluto on a walk and a group of older kids were riding their bikes and scooters in the area and Pluto started barking uncontrollably, his hair was starting up on his back, he was showing his teeth towards them and trying to run to them.

 

3. We were on a walk and stopped to talk to a friend. Pluto was fine at first, the friend reached their hand down slowly so Pluto could smell it and Pluto's first reaction was to bite it. He did not get it because the friend pulled away quickly enough.
