Thinking about finding a new home for my 7-year-old boy

With my daughter off at college and my full-time job and evening obligations keeping me away from home 12 hours a day, I'm debating whether finding a new home for my boy might be the best thing for him. I have a dog walker who comes during the weekdays, but he doesn't have the time to take Gideon out for super long walks. I'd love to see my boy on a farm somewhere where he can run around all day.

He's also gotten a bit snippy lately. He's never liked people to approach his head with their hand and often will snip to let them know it's unacceptable. But he snipped at my daughter the other day, which has never happened before. I wonder if being alone in the house all day and then being around only me has made him territorial and over-protective of me.

This all breaks my heart, but I want him happy more than anything.

Is there a way to find a new home for him that I know will be a good fit? We have a Sheepie Club here in Atlanta, and I'll reach out to Fiona as well.

I think Fiona will be your best bet; she'll screen possible homes for Gideon and make sure its a good fit.
