slinky 'slinks'

Meet SLINKY aka SLINKS! Some dogs seem to get all the lucky breaks. Sadly, this sweet boy hasn't been one of them. He first ended up at animal control and was scheduled for euthanasia when no one came for him. He was eventually adopted, but instead of finding the loving home he deserved, he experienced severe neglect and abuse. Much of his trauma involved being kenneled for long periods, so he is looking for a home where he can finally leave that part of his life behind. Despite everything he's been through, he has the sweetest heart. He is shy when meeting new people and needs a little time to know he's safe, but once you earn his trust, his personality shines. He'll do happy zoomies, throw his butt in the air for scratches, roll over for belly rubs, and happily spend his day curled up at your feet or even in your lap while you work. He's the kind of dog who simply wants to be near his person. He has wonderful house manners and does not need to be kenneled. In fact, his ideal home is one where he can freely move about the house and relax wherever he feels comfortable. He enjoys walks, likes to play, but is just as content spending a quiet evening by your side. His perfect family will be patient, understanding, and willing to let him settle in at his own pace. A calm home with few visitors would help him continue building confidence. While he currently lives with children and has done well, a home without young children is recommended so he can continue feeling safe and secure. This boy has spent far too much of his life wondering if people would let him down. Now all he needs is someone willing to show him that home is a place where he will always be loved, protected, and never have to be afraid again. If you're looking for a loyal companion who will love you with his whole heart, he just might be the one you've been waiting for.
