I have had a rescue Papillon for 18 months, but think we need to find her a new home. She is 6 years old and very hyperactive. She licks excessively, wants constant attention, jumps in circles when she's excited, is reactive to other dogs on walks and seems to be unable to sleep for long periods. This poor sleeping is causing us problems since she gets off the bed and wanders around, but then barks when she wants to be lifted back. (Don't suggest we ban her from our bed since my husband insists on this). She will sometimes snap at our other dog, a Cavalier, who is extremely placid. We are close to 80 and need more rest than we're getting. My husband and I argue about what to do about her a lot. I don't want to quieten her with medication.
We don't think we can manage her any longer and need to know what sort of home would best suit her.
