Original: This handsome fellow is finally warming up to his foster mom after about a week of coaxing. He is extremely timid, but his foster mom is learning that a gentle pat on the head goes a long way with this boy. He is working on his housetraining and is making great improvements over a short time period. Indiana is content to hang out in his crate with the door open, but as he gets to know visitors, he will venture out to get a quick belly rub and give a wet kiss or two. He slumbers in his crate at night and whenever his foster mom has to be away from home.
Indiana has a lot of love to give the right family but he will require patience as he learns to trust his humans. Perhaps to burn off a bit of energy, he likes to chew through leashes in his foster home. A great way to redirect Indiana’s energy would be through formal training once he is in his forever home. A beginning class could bolster his confidence in the new people around him and give him a chance to master his basic obedience commands.
Indiana came to his MAESSR foster family from a shelter in eastern West Virginia. He had been picked up as a stray and was in need of a new beginning. This sweetheart doesn’t have an aggressive bone in his body. He’s just searching for the right family to show him unconditional love. He may have been shorted on loving people in his past but can shine with caring folks in his corner. Can you give him a corner of your heart?
