Donny

My story

Hi there, I’m Donny!When a kind community member spotted me alone with another dog in a rural area, the GHS team spent nearly all day trying to carefully catch us so they could bring us to the safety of the shelter! Now that I’m here, it’s clear I’m a sweet and affectionate boy. I might be a bit nervous if you’re super excited or noisy, but if you’re calm, I’ll be super excited to meet you! I love to play with toys and I’m super treat-motivated. I’m still learning to walk properly on a leash and I’m a bit nervous of going through doorways, but every day I get a little bit better. I would love to join a family that’s looking forward to continuing confidence-building with me and making me feel safe every day!MY IDEAL HOME INVOLVES…CHILDREN: Teenagers should be okay, but no young children given my sensitive nature and unknown history.OTHER DOGS: Yes; a confident, well-socialized, playful dog could be great!CATS: Potentially, with cat confident & experienced with large dogs.FIRST-TIME DOG OWNERS: No, I’m sensitive and would do best with someone who has dog experience.FENCED-IN YARD: Yes, this is the safest option for me as my training continues!HOUSING ENVIRONMENT: No apartment buildings since I’m not yet walking reliably on leash and doorways still scare me.SOMEONE HOME MOST OF THE DAY: Not necessary.SOME OTHER THINGS TO KNOW ABOUT ME…ACTIVITY LEVEL: Medium.HOUSE-TRAINED: Yes.If you think I would make a good match for your home, please click the `Adopt Me` button to apply!*In celebration of found family, if I’m adopted during the month of June, my friends at Royal Canin are pleased to offer you one month of my pet food for free!*
