This is Dawson! He is a shy little guy, who needs a friend that can show him how to be a dog. He is very timid, so the family that takes him should be ready for a sweet pup that needs help finding his way. He is also what we like to call a "project dog", he is gonging to need some TLC and loves for him to be the great boy we all know he can be! When meeting Dawson, a treat or two goes a long way! He will warm of faster if he has a good snack! If you are looking for a buddy that may be a fun challenge, with high reward, please come and meet him today!
