[love our addi]

We have decided that Thumper must find a new ( and better home than we can give him) home. Several people have expressed interest in him but I would like to tell as much as I can about Thumper and if you are still interested, please send me a message.
I think Thumper has been abused in some way. There is a scar on his back (the groomer discovered it). He is very fearful of strangers and very protective of our youngest daughter. This morning Romeo jumped up to play with Tori and Thumper went crazy. He tried to attack poor Romeo and now Romeo is scared to death of him. I do not think he would ever hurt my daughter and he has never bitten anyone but he does growl at strangers. He seems to be very fearful in the mornings and as the day goes along he relaxes and starts wagging his tail and playing with the whole family. What I am afraid will happen is he will hurt my little girl without even meaning to because if one of the dogs try to come near her he starts snarling and snapping. I am afraid he will accidently snap at her instead of the dogs. On the flip side is such a wonderful dog. He loves to go for walks and car rides. He likes to be carried in a doggie purse. He loves for you to throw his ball and will gladly bring it back to you over and over. He can sit, shake, stay, roll over and play dead (all with hand commands). He rarely has an accident in the house. He loves children (but is maybe too protective of them). He is not nuetered but that might help him calm down. He has only had his first set of puppy shots. He weighs about 4 1/2 pounds. We are looking for the right home and will continue to love and work with him until we find someone to love him like he deserves to be loved. I do think he would be best in a home without other dogs (unless you are really willing to work with his protective streak). We are asking an adoption fee of $200. We are willing to travel part way but would never consider shipping him. If you think you might be able to help this little guy, please send me a message. This is going to break my little girls heart (and mine too). If you can think of any other questions, please ask. I want to be as upfront as possible so Thumper can find a forever home.
