Story

Sex: MaleBreed: Chihuahua/Pug xEstimated Date of Birth : 03/01/2023Shy dogs are almost always overlooked and Banjo was one of those dogs. His shy exterior hid a super sweet boy just looking for a chance to belong. A chance to know love and a chance to build trust. That’s all he needed to come out of his shell. Banjo bonds quickly to the humans willing to go slow and put in the work to gain his trust. Once his trust is gained he’ll be your new favorite lap buddy always up for any attention you’re willing to give or a snuggle session on the couch. He’s a really sweet little guy and is ready to find a family of his own. Banjo sat at our county shelter for a month after he’d been picked up as a stray. His previous family never came for him and no one was interested in adopting because he wasn’t instantly social. Just a shy brown dog that hovered towards the back of the kennel doing his best to not be noticed. But not noticed in a shelter environment is a death sentence and Banjo after a month at the shelter was euthanasia listed. Thankfully we had an open foster willing to give him his chance and Banjo made it out just in time and has settled into foster care. The longer he’s been with his foster family the more his personality has come out. Banjo is goofy, kinda fun and learning the skills he needs to find an adoptive family. He’s crate trained and working on his house training skills (he’s pretty close to mastering that too). He’s still a touch hesitant on leash, it’s hard when you’re a shy guy, but is building confidence daily. He loves toys and will happily entertain himself if there’s a bucket of toys around. He doesn’t bark a ton and is easy to redirect when he does bark. Banjo is hoping to find a patient family who understands that shy dogs need humans to go slow and go at the dog’s pace. He’d do best in a home with older respectful children that won’t crowd or rush him and would prefer no other dogs in the home as he struggles to share his families love.
