🚨 King Biscuit (2yo) is AT RISK 🚨
Some dogs are all about wiggles and snuggles, but some are fearful and reserved.
King Biscuit is one of those dogs who keeps himself low profile — shy, introverted, yet so gentle and sweet, quietly waiting for his turn. Being an introvert myself, I always feel an extra urge to help dogs like him.
And this is how the journey of two introverts started.
When I first met King on Aug. 1st, he was pretty fearful. Wouldn’t take treats, just sitting next to staff like a stone. But he wasn’t showing fearful aggression. It felt like he had built a high wall around himself, trying to feel safe inside his own little box.
Over time, I kept spending time with him, hoping he would slowly feel safer.
And he has improved SO much. 💕
Now he takes treats, gently leans his head/hip against me for pets, and yesterday, for the first time, he put his paws on my lap asking for affection. That was a big moment for us. I was so happy seeing him finally comfortable enough to make that choice on his own.
King also walks nicely on leash with very little pulling. He may pause to watch a nearby dog, but usually stays calm around people and dogs. He also passes many kennels on his way outside without reacting.
Despite all his progress, King is now AT RISK🚨
In his previous home, King lived with 3 dogs. According to his owner, King got into two fights with his father after the other dog attempted to be “dominant.” When the owner intervened with a stick. King redirected onto the stick and then snapped toward the owner. Because of this history, King urgently needs placement.
King may not immediately run up asking for love. He needs time. But once he starts trusting you, those little moments feel so much bigger. I really hope someone gives this quiet, gentle boy the chance he deserves.
