Meet SOCCER (male, neutered)
Approx. DOB: March 15, 2021
Hi!My name is Soccer and I'm finally ready to search for my fur-ever home. I've already been through a lot in my short life. In my puppy days on I was living on the streets and had mange which as you probably know is a very bad skin condition. I was losing fur and I scratched my body a lot. No one liked me, because I was considered ugly and got abused by children. They couldn't understand that I was just hungry and in pain...
I was eventually rescued and brought to the shelter, where I was so scared of everyone given my time on the streets. After months of new people giving me food I warmed up and came up a little closer each day. Eventually I gave in and started to like a few of the staff Everything has been very difficult for me, things like sudden movements and loud voices used to scare me, even just when someone walked up to me or looked me in the eyes... I have since learned that I have my safe space in a crate in the house. There I can escape into when things get to be too much. It has taken me many many months to start trusting people.
Now everything has changed! I am much more approachable and I will sneak up to strangers right away to have a little sniff. Once I get used to you and feel comfortable, I am incredibly loving and cuddly. I’ll show you all my love!
I enjoy playing with the other dogs at the shelter. Sometimes my left front leg is a bit stiff because of a ligament issue. However when playing, I forget about it and often wrestle with my besties, so much so that it can hurt a bit afterwards... In addition to playing with my fellow pack mates, I’d love to play with you! My peak time is in the morning when I am very playful and will initiate games! I’m also a big fan of my walkies and daily training! My favorite trick is giving you my paw In addition I also know the commands for sit, down, stay, come, and high five!
I'm crate trained and I know how to walk on the leash. I'm looking for a fur-ever home with experienced dog owners. This is due to the stress I had from my early life (which I mentioned earlier). I need you to be patient with me and give me time to warm up to you. Sometimes I’ll need a little bit of coaxing! Small children would not work for me, but I am good with other dogs - in fact they would even help me to build my confidence!
If you want to be my new human, I want to reiterate that it will take some time for me to trust you. Once we've overcome my insecurities, we will be even stronger together!
Love, Your Soccer
Soccer does not need to go on long walks or hikes, or even go outside of his comfort zone. A house with a large yard for him to enjoy some gentle exercise and outside time is ideal. -Surfers for Strays
