Here's what the humans have to say about me:
** Sly is available for foster or adoption! He is currently living in a kennel at our shelter! Email applications@chicagocaninerescue.org to set up a meet and great. **
Sly...that's how he sneaks straight into your heart! This boy is the absolute definition of "don't judge a book by its cover" - though he starts off shy, he soon reveals the goofy pup underneath!
Sly is a 3 year old retriever mix who came to CCR with his brother from a shelter in Arkansas. Sly had a tough time in Arkansas-- he lived much of his puppyhood in a rural shelter with only his brother. He unfortunately received very little of the socialization young puppies typically do to feel safe in the world! Due to this wonky upbringing, Sly is a pretty sensitive adult dog! He needs a patient, understanding human to lead him through life in the city.
The good news is that Sly is a friendly, playful, goofy boy - you just have to give him time to adjust. He's been living happily in foster care where his foster parents saw first hand how a super petrified dog can bloom into a goofy pup who loves to play play play! Sly will likely always be a slow adjuster to new things, but he's grown leaps and bounds in his confidence and bravery.
His new home will need to continue working on exposing him slowly to new things, but if his past is any indication - slow and steady wins the race for Sly! When he's comfortable, he's all knucklehead - he can jump high, run fast, and he LOVES to play with toys!
In the past, Sly has lived in homes with both other dogs and cats! Slow acclimation is always the best option, of course! But how cool that he did have those
