History: Javi is a super sweet boy who arrived to rescue in desperate need of a second chance. He is such a handsome and striking boy who is ready to meet his forever home soon!
A Note from the Foster: Let me introduce you to your dog’s new best friend! I say that because Javi unfortunately didn’t have the best start to his life. He spent it in the breeding world. Never sleeping in a place where he felt safe and loved, and told what a good boy he is. All of this is evident when you look into his sweet soulful eyes. He sees the other dogs getting pets and he wants to trust you, but he doesn’t know yet he is safe and it’s okay to come for pets. He will follow me around with the other dogs and will take treats from my hand though. He also enjoys running around the backyard with the other dogs though. That’s when I can see the twinkle in his eye and his playful side come out. I haven’t gotten any tail wags from him yet, but I know I can win him over eventually with love, time and patience.
Javi would do best in a home with another dog and a fenced backyard. He is still very afraid of leashes. So he needs the safety and protection of a fenced backyard still for now. I think he would also do best in a home with no children or older children that understand he doesn’t want to be pet yet. I see the potential in him and I know the right home will make all the difference. He wants to love and trust and be like all the other dogs, but just can’t do it quite yet.
Adoption Fee: $560 + tax
Adoption Status: Is this dog available? Submitting an application is the best first step to learning if a dog is still available. There is a chance this dog could have a pending adoption when your application is submitted, however our team will offer approved applicants to be put on a waiting list for that dog. Additionally, we can make recommendations on other dogs that may be a match. Pending adoptions do not mean the adoption is finalized. Why did we implement this change? We implemented this update because, unfortunately, dogs were pending for applicants for several weeks and then the applicant would change their mind. This happens more often with puppies, as applications are submitted impulsivly more often for them. Our process is great because it takes a little time, so impulsive decisions fade. However it was unfortunate for the dogs, and the foster homes, as then the process needed to be re-started. By securing a wait-list we are able to move forward more quickly if a pending adoption falls through. This is a new process for us, so your feedback along the way is helpful! Thank you for supporting rescue and adoption!
