My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

We originally fostered Feather so that his mom could get help with chronic and severe mental health concerns. She was feeling much better after care, but quickly needed it again. Feather's needs seem to be a trigger for amplifying that, and she asked for him to be rehomed so he could be cared for as he deserves. He is stand-offish at first, but once you earn a connection (chicken helps), he's quite delightful. He will do well with someone who can get him confident and show him the world is a fun place! He may be okay with children 10 and over - as he has had some contact during his stay here. He does prefer smaller, calmer dogs and can be spicy to set his boundaries. He would be able to adjust fine to a dog he considers a safe friend.
