SOCIALIZATION SPECIAL NEEDS. Fozzy Fosbourne will need a special, patient adopter who will take things at HIS pace. He was part of a breeder surrender from Missouri. He clearly didn’t have proper human interaction prior to Rescue, as he can be painfully nervous around people. However, in his few months with Pawfect, he has learnwe that humans aren’t so terrible!!! He can still be both approach and touch averse in occasion, and he does startle very easily, but he will now stand quietly next to you, waiting to be picked up and cradled like a baby. Once he knowns you’re safe, he really just wants to be cuddled!!!

He has not been leash walked, as he’s still nervous and startles way too easily; he may never be a dog who will be up for walks or hikes or public adventures. Any candidates need the full understanding that he is considered a flight risk, so extra diligence will be needed to ensure Fozzy Fosbourne does not ever get loose; a fully fenced/secure backyard is required.

Animals, however, are his JAM! Fozzy Fosbourne loves to play bow, rip and romp with his canine companions; he gains confidence from other dogs and will often look to them to see what he should be doing. Another dog, or dogs, is required in his forever home. He does not mind cats one bit and will let them come up and sniff all over him; one of his foster home cats will even wrap her arms around his neck with zero reaction from the Fozzbutt! He’s fine with human children, too, but an overly rambunctious or active household would likely leave him in a constantly startled state. Fozzy Fosbourne’s forever home will need to be on the quieter side.

If you’re an amazing and patient human who’s looking for a special boy to join your family, consider applying for Fozzy Fosbourne.
