🩵COURTESY POST🩵
*Twain is NOT in STA care, this is a private rehoming request*
This is Twain. He is an 8-year-old mixture of Mountain Cur, Red and Tan Coonhound, Rat Terrier, "Supermutt," American Eskimo Dog, and Boston Terrier. But in person, he looks like an adorable small yellow Labrador Retriever. He is completely house trained, neutered, and is current on his shots and flea, tick, and heart worm preventatives. He weighs in at about 38 lbs, and he enjoys walks on a leash or romping around in the yard. He is well behaved in the car and is always ready when we ask him, "Do you want to go in the car?" Pick-up trucks work for him as well. Twain would do best in a home with another friendly dog because he previously had some separation anxiety when he was alone. Twain and our female standard poodle get along great, so the separation anxiety has not been a problem. While he does enjoy short bouts of play fighting with our poodle, he also enjoys being a couch potato. He is not a Velcro dog, nor is he needy or demanding, but he does enjoy it when we fuss over him. I would describe him as pretty independent, but in a good way. We never know where we'll find him in the morning-on the dog bed next to our bed, on the dog bed in the living room, or sprawled out on the couch. He's pretty content wherever he nods off.
So you're probably wondering why this wonderful guy is being rehomed. We had an incident recently where Twain bit someone. To be fair, it was not a vicious attack (he did not break the skin but did leave a red mark on the person's leg). And as one person told us, if he had wanted to hurt the person, he would have. However, we have two young grandchildren that we spend a lot of time with. While Twain has been very respectful around them, we have made this decision with their safety in mind.
