Introducing Banjo, the spirited 1-year-old Beagle who has had a rough start in life. Banjo's experience has made him fearful of human touch, but with a little patience, love and understanding, handsome and shy Banjo will approach for treats and gentle belly rubs! He has taken almost 6 months to warm up in his foster home, and with the assistance of his 4-legged best buddies, Banjo is beginning to know love, and what it feels like to just "be a dog". We believe that Banjo's new home will have at least one other furry 4-legged canine to help Banjo acclimate into his new surroundings.
Banjo's early life likely lacked the comfort and stability of a loving home. Consequently, he requires a secure and fenced-in yard where he can feel safe and explore his surroundings freely. Having the freedom to roam within the confines of a yard will allow Banjo to gradually build confidence and feel more at ease. Banjo is finally used to a collar and will accept light touches, but is not accustomed to a leash.
Deep down, Banjo possesses a curious nature that shines through his fear. He approaches the world around him with cautious intrigue, always eager to discover new scents and surroundings. His curiosity can be fostered by offering treats, which he will gently accept from your hand, showcasing his gentle and trusting nature.
To earn Banjo's trust, it will take an abundance of patience and love. He needs a guardian who understands the healing power of time, willing to work with him to overcome his fears and build a strong bond. With gradual progress and consistent positive reinforcement, Banjo will learn to associate human touch with comfort, care, and affection.
By providing Banjo with a dedicated and understanding home, you can offer him a fresh start filled with the love and support he deserves. Together, you can create a safe space where Banjo can thrive, not only as a curious canine but also as a loyal and loving companion.
