Foster home needed Potter is one of 33 dogs that we removed from a hoarding situation in November.
From what we understand he was not provided much positive interaction with humans and was possibly tied up outside.
Due to his past, he is very very nervous and doesn't trust his human counterparts fully.
He is absolutely non aggressive by nature, but he will run from a human at any given time..
Because of his level of distrust, he needs a home with a fully secure fenced yard, a very quiet neighborhood with little foot traffic so he can learn that walks on leash are ok, and that his human will provide him safety.
In the home he can drag his leash around and not be forced to interact with the humans.
Just allowing him to be, to watch and allowing him to choose when he feels safe to interact is important for his rehab.
Because he is a flight risk, using a double leash method is the only way to walk him.
1 leash in a martingale collar and 1 leash on a 3 point harness.
We believe in time he will become the most wonderful friend.
But years of trauma takes a long time to heal.
Potter is house trained and prefers to potty outside, but when he is on a leash he doesn't feel safe to do his business.
We allow him to go to the yard on a long line so he can feel free to potty where he likes.
Potter is food motivated and loves treats.
He also really likes to sit on the sofa.
So if you're watching tv and hanging out, maybe he will join you.
After everything this boy has been through, he deserves to find a place to call his own, where he will be loved, despite his issues.
Where his humans will be patient with him and never get frustrated.
We hope there's a kind soul out there who is willing to foster Potter to help him become more adoptable.
A quiet home, no children, another dog would be fabulous.
Potter really gloms on to other dogs..
A dog friend he can learn from would be so perfect.
Potter is waiting for his dental procedure, however he is already neutered, vaccinated, microchipped, dewormed and flea treated.
