Hello I’m Dustin I was surrendered to a high kill shelter in San Bernardino county after my owners were reported for neglect and hoarding. I was kept away from the public for months while I saw each member of my family being taken 1 by 1 and never coming back, I know they were being killed because I was close to a room that smelt like death. I was scared stiff when anyone came close to me because I was just waiting for my time to come where I’d be taken out and never return. Thankfully my life was saved being the last in my cage a transporter decided I was going to go to this rescuer who couldn’t say no if she saw me so I was loaded up with a few barking dogs and when I arrived I didn’t know what to expect. I would freeze and try to hide if my rescuer came close but she was very patient. I didn’t know what it meant to be a dog but I liked attention from her and especially the treats she’d bring (my favorite is the whipped cream can!) when she comes home I get excited and give he small licks than I retreat because that’s all I really know, I love other dogs and I look to them for guidance on how to react to certain things. I love other dogs, both large and small and I like cats and don’t aggravate them, but I have developed a bit of a pray-drive with rodents and caught my first rat a couple weeks ago I ancestors would be proud because that is what I was bred to be. I would do best in a home with people who are patient and loving and would give me time to open up my heart to trust people once again. I really hope I find my forever home soon, I am a very sweet dog who just needs time and love so if you think this sounds like you please reach out to my rescuer, her information is listed directly above my story. schedule a time to meet me because I am approved for same-day adoption and my rescuer will provide a lot of transition tips and acclamation guides to help you and I better understand each other in our journey to becoming family, I look forward to hearing from you!
