Gorgeous looking! Stone's outstanding look is what attracted our attention when we first walked by his cage at the shelter. Then we noticed how sad and scared he was and we decided to take him out for evaluation. Stone was too shell-shocked at the shelter to tell us a lot about his personality so we took him home for further evaluation. "Give me time, I'll come around..." I believe the dog was not very well socialized with his previous owner, and/or may have been abused and neglected. Hard to tell. He is timid with people but seems to enjoy the presence of other dogs. We are giving him the time he needs to warm up and he is making great progress. Despite his shyness though, he is irresistibly adorable. Stone gets along great with other dogs. In fact, we noticed quickly that being with other dogs was improving his confidence. He has bursts of joy when he's around them. He loves his foster companion Pearl and they are very cute together. Stone would greatly benefit to live with a friendly and outgoing female dog. |

He's good with kids, although not very reactive. The kids are actually trying hard to help him come around. Stone would make a great house pet. He is calm, quiet, housebroken, and crate trained. He likes to chew and should not be left out of the crate when no one is home. A few toys in his crate will keep him busy for hours. Stone needs to go with someone willing to continue patient socialization work with him. He needs a gentle hand and lots of love and understanding. Someone experienced with timid dogs is preferred. |
