They seem to be well-intentioned toward the dog, just don't have the time to
work with him (both work, she's in graduate school).

Border Terrier Rescue wouldn't place him if he'd actually bitten anyone.  The
coordinator talked with the dog day care people who've spent a lot of time with
him.  The consensus is that he needs an owner who can work with him.

I've owned a Border Terrier before -- they can be good with children, but the
children need to be good with them, too.
