He's so afraid of strangers it's very hard for him to meet prospective adopters. "It's pure panic," says our trainer Leah. "Fleeing on leash, lunging and yanking trying to get away."
Yeesh.
And yet Cusco is just the warmest, most loving puppy once over that initial hurdle, wanting to play, snuggle, make eyes at you. He might still be skittish on your walks, but in between panic attacks he frolics like a six-week-old puppy. He loves playing with his trusted dog friends.
Cusco's Cheat Sheet:
* Major stranger danger reaction
* Wriggly, friendly and happy-go-lucky with familiar people
* Adults-only home ideal but mature teens ok
* Has separation anxiety; needs crate training.
* Likes other friendly dogs he's allowed to get to know
* No cats
FAAS's free canine behavior training classes can help Cusco reach his full potential. Free classes come with his adoption.
Despite how he might act at first, Cusco (deep down) really wants to meet you and go home with you.
Give this awesome boy a chance or two or three. Bring your big friendly dog with you to meet him at our 1590 Fortmann Way location any afternoon but Monday and get started on the incredible adventure of helping Cusco blossom.
