Update 7/12/2024: Sharky has finally learned how to be a dog. He plays with his foster brothers and sisters, he jumps around and gets excited when his foster parents come home, He does still get scared over loud noises I.e. thunderstorms that rock the house, Fireworks so during those times he will need a blanket and somewhere to hide close to you. He still doesn't really like being picked up but rolls over to get belly rubs. He is crate trained and has been doing well outdoor potty, for those times that might be missed he is potty pad trained. He is very much ready for his future adventures with a great family that has older kids that know boundaries because he is very scared of children due to how he was allowed to be treated by them. He is a great companion to go on short distance walks, and watch tv next to his favorite person. He likes to sleep in the bed with his foster but does not crowd her out.
UPDATE 11/21: He is so sweet and just needs an understanding parent. He needs a quiet home with a physical fenced in yard due to fear. NO KIDS, he is terrified of them. His fosters have figured out how he is okay with getting picked up so he can be picked up now (big improvement). He enjoys the kisses his foster mom gives him on his neck, every chance he gets he will go to her reach out his head to expose his neck wanting kisses. He has made huge milestones while being with his fosters he knows how to dog now YAY! He is crate trained.
Sharky was a stray at a shelter in IN. when we pulled him. He has not had a good beginning or treated properly. He is terrified of being picked up or having his neck touched. Overall, he is so sweet with a charming underbite. After a couple of weeks, I can now slowly pick him up talking to him the whole time. I do avoid touching his neck right now, however he did tolerate a harness.
