My story

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

This majestic, handsome boy with golden chestnut coloring is appropriately called Chestnut. I’m just trying to get him out there now as a preview. I will follow up tomorrow. He is unsure, not able to trust, and skittish. He’s gradually, with the staff and volunteer help, been coming around. After spending time with him, he would come close to me and then run away. He flinches when you reach for him. I feel certain that by tomorrow he will be more relaxed, and I will be able to do a better evaluation. He did his business in the yard. He walks very well on a leash. It makes me sad to see a dog so fearful when he really wants to be loved on. I know he has great potential for being a very loving, loyal companion. Stay tuned….
