Although Chase was unsocialized he does not appear protective, just fearful of humans. He’s come a long way. Can be leashed to go out and takes treats very well….. hope to find a FOSTER or experienced adopter to help him gain more confidence.
Here we have a dog who needs a very experienced and understanding person. Chase has not been socialized with people other than his previous owner at all. It appears that the owner – by choice – did not socialize with other people in their own home and deprived Chase from meeting people (maybe unknowingly). We need an adopter who knows about decompression. Letting a dog be in a quiet safe environment for days or weeks with very slow introduction of stimuli. Chase cannot be crated/caged (former trauma?). But a small gated area or bathroom with toddler gate may be appropriate.
