My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Hello there, my name is Earl. Me and my friends all came from Miami from a pretty rough situation. We were very neglected, and as a result of not having human interaction, I am quite shy at first. The neglect that I have gone through has also resulted in me not being able to see very well. Despite all the tragedy of my upbringing, when you spend some time with me in a nice, quiet place I have finally started to open up to my caretakers. I have started to approach willingly to be leashed up, I'm eating much better, and I am even allowing myself to be petted! It's still going to take a lot of time and patience to give me the confidence to truly be a dog, but despite my fear of loud sounds, reflections, and strangers, I know there's a very kind, good dog in me. I get along well with other dogs (though it's best if they're gentle) and my small size makes me a good fit for an apartment. I need a quiet, calm environment, so please no kids, but seniors are totally fine. I may get scared and bolt, so to keep me safe I need to have a secure fence if I live somewhere with a yard, and I need to be securely on leash if I'm on a walk. A baby gate at the door will help a lot too! I know this sounds like a lot, but I promise I really am a good boy. I just need time (and maybe some treats) to help me understand that I am safe now. If you have room in your heart for me, please ask about me!
