Cornell is a nervous dog with heart of gold. Hes been at the shelter for 109 days - and has spent a lot of his formative months inside of a noisy chaotic place. He is hyper aware of all the scary noises going on at the shelter and is a pretty reserved because of it.
Cornell has done great in his foster home. He is calm and quiet in the kennel, and has been friendly with everyone he has met. He would do best in a home that allows him time to decompress at his own pace, in the safety of his crate. In his foster home it took him about one week to feel confident leaving his crate and joining the household routines. A quieter home outside the busy city core would be ideal as a slower pace will certainly help him show his true personality. He gained more and more confidence over time in his foster home. Once you gain his trust he is treat motivated, and his favourites are Yak Chews and Carrots! Cornell would thrive with another friendly dog in the home to show him routine and build his confidence. Cornell lived with a dog and two cats in his foster home and did great in all their interactions. In fact he saw deer, squirrels, skunks etc and in all situations he was calm and gave a 'live and let live' vibe. He seems to be very accepting of all people and animals he has met.
