Rocky-ADOPTED!!!! American Eskimo Dog Toronto, ON

I found my forever home, thank you!

My name is Rocky. I was initially placed in a forever home 3.5 years ago by Snookies Society. Unfortunately, I came back to the rescue when my owner took ill and couldn't care for me anymore. I was then placed with another couple and have been with them for 3 years. My owners are now expecting their first baby and the stress and complications of the pregnancy is too difficult for them to hanfle me as well.
I developed separation anxiety as I don't want to be away from my owner when she isn't well. I drink a lot of water when I'm anxious so I need someone home with a flexible schedule to let me out to do my business.
I have a tendency to be leash aggressive when I meet strangers or dogs I do not know. I bark and lunge on leash so please be cautious although I have never bitten. I'm just nervous with strangers.
I need a stable, calm and confident owner who has experience being a strong leader to an insecure dog.
I do get along with dogs I know but I would do best to socialize in a stable pack of regular dog friends then going to the dog park and meeting random dogs.
Some dogs I like and some I don't so I would rather just stick to my pack.
I am a very sensitive boy who has a strong protective instinct for my owner. More so when my owner isn't well. I feel like I need to be over protective which can be an issue living in a busy, crowded area.
I'm hot always like that but more so when my owner isn't feeling well.
I am truly an affectionate boy who has so much love to give. I am gentle with my family and can be the best dog ever.
I am a larger American Eskimo at 32-35 lbs. I am a handsome boy with a beautiful smile when I'm happy!
At 6 years old, I've already had so many homes and have been bounced around.
Yet, all I want to do is love my people.
I would love a forever home please.
