Notes: The hustle and bustle of a busy shelter can be a lot for any pup, and for Friar, that is definitely the case. This sweet young boy is working through some transition anxiety. We feel what Friar needs is to be around another dog to help with his confidence. Friar is a follower and looks to other dogs to gauge if a situation is safe and fun. Because of this, he is searching for a foster or adoptive home with a resident dog who can act as a dog brother or sister. A friendly dog at home will help him tremendously. Friar will need someone who understands that slow and steady will be the best for him. If you have a resident dog who would not mind a new shadow, Friar would love to meet you.

Most of our dogs are strays, therefore we can only guess whether they are good with other animals or children by observing the behavior of the animal in the kennel and their interaction with the shelter staff.
