Hi, my name is Corbin and I am a very shy and timid young guy that is ready to find my forever people with patience, toys and lots of love to help me be the best I can be!
I’m very afraid of being touched by humans but I do love them. Over the past few months, foster mom has been working with me on getting used to touch. She can now hold me and put me in her lap and I know I am safe. I give her smiles and tail wags. I’ve been brave enough to lick my foster mom’s hand but I’ll run away if you try to hold me or pick me up. that whole picking me up thing makes me nervous and I panic, but I do enjoy gentle scratches. With time, lots of patience and love, I’ll get there. I’m getting a little better every day but when things are scary, they’re really scary! You have to understand that I likely have never been in a loving home so sounds like the TV, clanking dishes, the horrible vacuum and lots of commotion might make me a little worried.
I have shown foster mom that I do have some puppy antics in me, hee hee! I like to play with soft toys, run around the yard and wrestle with the other dogs in my foster home. So, it’ll be important that I have a good doggy role model in my forever home to help me learn that touch isn’t scary and keep learning. A social, well-balanced and confident dog is required. This means that my buddy will need to show me humans are safe, how to get on a potty routine and teach me which toys are the best! My fur-brother and the other dogs in my foster home have been amazing teachers!
I am still working on my dog skills like potty training. We go outside on a routine, but I will still need of practice in my forever home. Foster mom wants to let you know that I am smart – I already know what “go potty” means! We tried kennel training, and oh boy, I will tell you how much I don’t like it! Bark bark! Foster mom uses gates for the dogs when she isn’t home. I also bark at her when she comes home – maybe I’m telling you I’m glad you’re home, or maybe I’m filling you in on what happened when you were away! Also, a fenced yard is required as I don’t have a leash or tie-out experience. This is very important for potty training too.
My foster mom said I’m fun, adorable, learns quickly and likes to play with other dogs and that I play hard! Oh and that I have a wonderful appetite! I will let you know with a bark bark that I am excited for dinner!
I’m just an overall, very happy dog who loves the feel of the sun on my face when I’m sitting outside, other dogs and treats. All I need now is a forever home with lots of patience, unconditional love and a family that will help me be the best I can be! Foster mom says that with time I will learn to trust – we are taking baby steps. Will you take those baby steps with me?
Please note that some of our dogs are obtained from shelters, surrendered to our care, or released from breeders. Each animal's bio is based on our experience of the animal within our care, an educated guess based on physical characteristics, temperament and information shared. Some of the animals come from situations where they are lacking experience in a home and confidence in humans. In turn, they require another companion dog and/or a fenced in yard in their forever home in order for them to feel safe. If you are interested in a
particular dog whose bio states those needs and do not currently have them, please understand that your home might not be the right fit. Please use the filter on our Adoptable Dogs page to find the perfect match for your home.
