He is a sweetheart who is shy and takes a little bit to be comfortable in new surroundings with new people. He loves to play with his siblings and just relax with a chew toy. We have seen him start to come out of his shell, and man is he absolutely so sweet! He now will come up for pets like everyone else, he just needs a home of his own with an adopter that is patient and willing to get him more socialized in the world. He is used to being in a kennel for most of his life. He is a special boy who will make anyone happy with a little patience. He needs a loving home with someone who is ready to train a puppy and ready to receive lots of love!
He would be fine in a multi-dog household, as long as proper introductions are given, which will be done during the adoption process. We recommend all of our dogs be trained, by the adopter and/or professionally, especially as puppies. Training makes everyone's life easier and more enjoyable, giving you a companion that is well behaved, safe, and mentally enriched. All adopters will receive a 50% discount at The Good Dog Yorktown for a 6-week training session.

Backstory: We saw a post on Facebook from Angels for Animals spreading awareness that these 16 dogs were in an urgent situation, scheduled for euthanasia. They were dumped from a breeder at OC Animal Shelter with two testing positive for parvo. Since they all came in together, they were considered parvo exposed, meaning they did not have it, were not showing any signs of it, just merely exposed. We couldn't let them all die for a treatable disease, so with the help of Animal Assistance League of Orange County, The Fix Project, 4 Paws Transport Inc., SoCal Happy Tails Transport, and a great volunteer communicator, we were able to get them out, and transport them here to Rox & Ro Animal Rescue in Virginia where we will find their forever homes!
