Meet Bagel! This smart, sensitive boy is looking for a special family who understands that the best friendships take time. The shelter has been a scary place for Bagel, and he needs a quiet home with a patient, experienced dog owner who will let him settle in at his own pace. He may take some time to feel comfortable with new people, but with consistency, gentle encouragement, and continued socialization training, Bagel has the opportunity to build confidence and form meaningful bonds with his people.
Once Bagel feels safe with someone, his silly and affectionate side starts to shine! He loves spending time outside, enjoys a good case of the zoomies when he finds a toy he likes, and may even try to climb into your lap for some affection. The way to his heart? Tasty treats, of course! Meaty snacks, cheese spray, and especially peanut butter are some of his favorites.
Bagel is very selective about his canine companions and would prefer to be the only dog in his home. He has not yet been tested with cats because he is still too nervous in the shelter environment. Due to his sensitive nature, Bagel is looking for a quiet, adult-oriented home with respectful children ages 16 and up. If you have the patience, experience, and understanding to help a shy dog find his confidence, Bagel may just be the loyal companion you've been waiting for!
