My story

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

From Foster:
He has never nipped, growled, or even snarled a little at me even when I get him out of the crate or his hiding spot. He’s never locked in the crate, just have it next to the bed so he has a cozy space besides the blanket under my bed. He has relaxed a little from when I first got him.

He plays and wrestles with my 2 year old dog that’s 26 lbs. He and the two older/smaller dogs just ignore each other. He is pee pad trained, doesn’t bark at all, but will whine/squeak a little when I come home/unlocking the front door. He’s eating well and seems to be at a good weight. Let me know if there’s any other info you need.

From Foster:
He is super fearful and hides from me so i think a regular adopter will be disapointed with him. He plays very well with my youngest dog who is twice his size. He plays with toys and chills on the couch when i am gone- i can see on camera. But even after two months, he will not come to me. Progress has been very slow.
I feel like he would do best with someone who has been able to work with really fearful dogs.
