Black Tie

My story

I am in a foster home and not at the shelter. If you are interested in adopting, submit an adoption questionnaire by email. Learn more hereThis dog is available to meet by appointment only. Introducing Black Tie! Shy and timid with unfamiliar people and environments, Black Tie has been working on building his confidence in a foster home, and now he's ready for his forever home. He's turned into a big snuggler with his foster family and loves hanging out and playing with his doggie foster siblings — he's even learning to go for walks! Although he's considered a "senior" at 8 years old, Black Tie has lots of energy and runs around happily with his younger foster siblings, while also being content to nap while his foster mom is at work.  His ideal home: A patient adopter, with experience handling fearful dogs, who will make him feel safe and allow him to build trust and confidence over time A home with at least one other confident, social dog as a role model to help him understand that humans are cool!
