Story
Terry is a dog who is still learning how to be a dog. This a medium-large young male mixed breed was first discovered running as a stray several months ago, and it took some kind strangers around a month to convince him and his friend Reba to accept their help. It's easy to read Terry's body language and pick up on at least part of his story. He walks tentatively, body crouched low, ready to spring away from any potential danger. He doesn't pull when walking on a leash because he is too scared to move fast. He paces and pants when spending time as office dog. He's interested in pro-offered treats, but he's too nervous to take them from your hand. What is most likely is that when it was most important (as a puppy), he was not around humans, or at least kind humans. However, there's lots of hope for this handsome speckled guy. He's very receptive to human interaction, and there's not a mean bone in his body. He leans into your legs when you stand near him. He's more than happy to join you on the couch, curled up tight. He even shows signs of being really interested in stuffed toys (crinkly ones are his favorite). All this guy needs is a patient and understanding home who understands a couple of things. First, the dog you first meet is not going to be the same as the dog who will eventually emerge after decompressing. Second, progress takes time and is not linear. We don't know if Terry has ever lived inside, if he's ever been around children, and how he will behave in a home environment. We need that kind and loving person to take the leap of faith with Terry in tow. Terry is very responsive to reassurance, and he's most confident when he's allowed to go at his own pace. After he's decided you're a safe person, you earn the reward of seeing more of his personality. He tends towards being clingy, checking in frequently to see if you still approve. He's at his happiest when he's on a long line sniffy walk. Overall, he's a doll who we see thriving in a home dedicated to building his confidence. If you feel called to come meet this special boy, please email adopt.ffaa@gmail.com or call the shelter at (417) 592-2512 to arrange a meet and greet.
