Story
Hickory is a handsome, scruffy little guy with a whole lot of potential. He's still learning about the world around him, and while he's a bit timid when meeting new people or experiencing unfamiliar things, we think this boy is going to make someone a wonderful companion. One thing we know about Hickory is that a little patience goes a long way. When we spent time with him, we simply sat on the ground and let him decide when he was ready to interact. It didn't take long before he was resting his head on our leg. That's Hickory! He just needs a few minutes to figure out that you're someone he can trust. He's already got some great qualities going for him. Hickory is crate-trained and house-trained. He doesn't mind spending time in his crate, whether you're home or away, and quietly lets you know when he needs to go outside. He's also a nice walking companion and does well on a leash. Once he gets comfortable, Hickory likes to keep his person close. He's shown us his playful side with some zoomies and enjoys his toys. We suspect there's an awful lot of personality waiting to come out as his confidence grows. Hickory hasn't had the socialization opportunities that many dogs have, so he's going to need someone willing to help him catch up on some of those life experiences. New people, unfamiliar places, and new sounds can make him uncertain at first. His future family should be prepared to continue confidence-building through positive experiences, neighborhood outings, walks, and trips to dog-friendly places. Sometimes all he needs is a few minutes to observe and decide that everything is okay. What are we looking for in Hickory's new home? An adopter with some experience who understands timid dogs and confidence-building. An adult home without children. We don't believe Hickory is ready for the activity and unpredictability that come with little ones. Someone who will continue working on socialization and introduce him to new experiences gradually. A patient person who understands that building confidence takes time but is absolutely worth the effort. Hickory isn't a dog who needs to be fixed. He needs opportunities, guidance, and someone willing to help him discover how much fun life can be. Hickory is ready for someone to believe in him. Could that someone be you?
