20-04-25 Shinta is a very handsome older puppy who has come to us from a breeder to begin his new life. This dear little boy is very worried and overwhelmed right now, as he’s had very little socialisation and is finding the world a scary and confusing place.

Shinta is currently touch sensitive and unsure of human contact. He doesn’t yet understand that kind hands bring love and comfort. He will try his best to run away when frightened, but if you hold him gently and quietly, he does begin to settle in your arms. With time, patience and lots of reassurance, we believe Shinta will blossom into a loyal and loving companion.

Because of his fearfulness, Shinta must be homed with another kind and confident resident dog who can help guide him and show him that the world isn't such a scary place after all. He’s never lived in a home before, so his adopters will need to help him learn all about home life including house training and walking on a lead.

Shinta’s journey may not be a quick one, but for the right family, it will be a deeply rewarding one. If you have a calm home, a loving heart, and a kind dog who could be a friend to him, please consider offering Shinta the second chance he so deserves.
