My name is Sylvester ASAP!!

This is a courtesy posting.  SYLSVESTER is at the Kern County Shelter (Bakersfield, CA).  If you are in the Bay Area and could foster him, reach out to us.  This shy sweet little 30lb Border Collie has had quite the adventure of late.  He was at an adoption event when he decided to try to find his own way home(!)  He was lost for a month, but is now found and back at the very full shelter.  He needs a foster, adopter, or rescue ASAP as they are over full and euthanizing for space :(  Here's his shelter bio from his Doggie Day Out:

Sylvester is a shy boy, but so so affectionate. He takes his time to open up, but once he does he’s a sweet and bubbly puppy. He does well with other dogs and would be good with dog-savvy children who know to give him time and space. We did not encounter any cats today.

Sylvester, at 10mo old, has had an unsettled life so far. He was adopted but landed back at the shelter due to no fault of his own (original adopters moved). Then he was lost for an entire month.  He is SO ready to find his true forever family now. The ideal adopter would be patient and willing to go slow and help Sylvester realize the world isn’t as scary as he may think. Someone who can help get him build his confidence.

Sylvester rides great in the car, doesn’t pull on the leash, and catches treats. He tilts his head so cute when you make kissy noises and whistle at him. He likes being sweet talked and always wiggles the end of his tail. This sweet boy so wants a home to call his own.

Here is the link to his full facebook Doggie Day Out posting with lots of videos of him:
