Adopt Danny a Brindle Boxer / American Pit Bull Terrier / Mixed dog in Columbus

Location:

Columbus, IN

Description:

Danny is a very special guy, and definitely a staff favorite here. When he came into the shelter he was so shut down and terrified. He did not let anyone touch him, leash him up, didn't play with toys or wag his tail. He was abandoned on a bus for an unknown amount of time and lost all trust in people. You could see the fear and stress in his eyes everyday - always on edge thinking someone would hurt him. After working with him every single day for months he finally started to progress. It started with taking treats from our hand, to letting us scratch his chin for a few seconds. Then he finally had his first zoomies, his first toy and tail wag. But the best day was when he finally let a staff member give him proper pets and butt scratchies. Then we discovered that he loves dogs AND cats! Danny is still working on his people skills, but is getting better by the day. There are a few staff members that he's completely comfortable with, but he doesn't freak out with strangers anymore. He observes people, and smells them, he just won't let new people pet him at first. Danny is scared of small children and should be in a home with adults, and older teenagers only. His new home will require a tall fenced in back yard, as he is potentially a flight risk if he gets too scared. An approved application is required before meeting Danny as he absolutely needs the perfect fit. Danny is not a dog for a novice owner, he will need lots of patience, work, and a responsible owner who will ensure his safety at all times in all situations. This boy is goofy, perfect, and has a lot of love to give.
