My story

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

Andy is a sweet boy who's true colors are hidden behind fear. He needs an extremely patient home who is willing to work with him as he continues to gain confidence and trust. He does not do well to authority and everything with Andy is at his pace. He is excellent and very affectionate when hes not in a situation where he feels threatened. He does not like to be "forced" to go to a playpen or a crate, however, he will gladly walk in there himself with toys or a treat. He will never react without very clear warning signs, often displayed with tail tucked and a low growl showing he is uncomfortable. He can be extremely clingy , affectionate and cuddly, but on his terms. He does not yet enjoy being forcefully picked up, but if sitting on the floor he will leap right into your lap and beg for gentle pets. He seems to do well with smaller dogs, and since he has not been tested with larger dogs it would be best to not adopt out to that.
