What my friends at OHS say about me:I have been working with the Behavior team at OHS and I'm looking for a special home. It will take time and patience to get to know me. Click the "meet me" button to start the process and schedule an appointment.To learn more about my specific needs, please read my What to Expect handout.Shy and Nervous: I can be worried about new people, new surroundings and touch. I prefer to take things at my own pace and will need to live in a calm environment.I am a sweet and sensitive boy who takes a little time to build trust and make friends.I'm a fiend for food! Snacks are a great way to make friends with me and win your way into my heart.I am not for the first time dog owner. Someone very familiar with canine body language is a must for me. I may do best with an owner who has had experience owning or caring for shy and fearful dogs.Handling Sensitivity: I can be overwhelmed by overhandling, restraint or touch. I may exhibit my discomfort in a variety of ways and will need to go to dog savvy home.Escape Artist: I have a history of escaping doors or fences. I will need supervision when outdoors or we can go on adventures together - on leash of course!I am still learning how to walk on leash, especially in new environments that can be overwhelming. I need verbal encouragement, patience and of course treats from you to help me!The type of home I'm looking for:I am part of the Diamond in the Ruff program, which you can learn more about here.I would flourish in a calm environment and a low-traffic home.I may do best in a home where there is another dog to help boost my confidence and play with.I need a home without cats or other small animals.I need to go to an adult only home.I will need to meet any canine companions prior to getting adopted.It could be with you!
