Hoss is guessed to be an Golden Retriever / English Shepherd mix that is currently being fostered with one of our dog trainers that specializes in timid, shy and scared dogs. He is guessed to be 1-2 years old.
He is a super sweet boy who is still pretty shy and will take some patience to gain his trust. His eyes will melt your heart!
His foster mom thinks he would do better in a quiet home with adults or older children to work with him. Another confident dog could be helpful, but not necessary.
His foster mom has an amazing rehabilitation protocol to help these scared dogs and is working with him on potty training, socializing with dogs and humans, leash training, kennel training, doggie door training and if time permits, even car training. She also has an amazing group of volunteers that meet twice a week to help socialize all the scared foster dogs in her care.
There are lots of other dogs at his foster moms house so we know he is dog friendly. His foster doesn't have any cats but thinks he would be fine with them if introduced slowly and properly.
He will need an adopter, who will give him love and patience. Please consider this handsome guy as a part of your family. He deserves all the kindness and will give you a lifetime of affection. The shy dogs become the most loyal dogs, who adore their humans.
His foster mom is located in Fort Collins Colorado and wants to find a patient adopter, who is willing to help him continue gaining confidence either with in person, or virtual training session(s) This training is NOT basic obedience, but instead, is designed for rescue dogs and teaches the adopter how to work to build the dogs confidence and overcome any trauma the dog may have experienced. This training will help the family and this sweet guy adjust to their new life together quicker. She will provide a discount on training. The amount of training needed (it generally takes 1-2 sessions) will depend on the knowledge and experience of the adopter and how far along the dog is in the rehabilitation training at the time of adoption.
