Description
Timid by nature, Ray approaches the world with caution, but beneath his shyness lies a friendly and playful spirit. He is curious about the world around him but needs plenty of encouragement to step out of his comfort zone. On a lead, Ray tends to freeze, unsure of what to do or where to go, but with patience, positive reinforcement, and gentle guidance, he will learn to trust and embrace new experiences.
Despite his limited exposure to life outside the shelter, Ray is a sweet and loving boy who thrives on kindness and affection. Once he feels safe, his playful side emerges, and he enjoys engaging in gentle games and spending time with those he trusts. He has an endearing way of seeking reassurance, looking to his humans for cues and support as he navigates unfamiliar territory.
Ray is not yet toilet trained or leash trained, so his new family will need to be patient and dedicated to helping him learn these essential skills. Positive reinforcement and a calm, consistent approach will be key to building his confidence. With the right environment and guidance, Ray has the potential to blossom into a wonderful companion who will repay your love and patience with unwavering loyalty.
He gets along well with other dogs and would likely benefit from a home with a confident, well-adjusted canine companion who can show him the ropes and help him build his confidence. Ray’s gentle nature also makes him a good fit for a home with older, calm children who understand his need for a quiet and supportive environment.
Ray is neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped, ready to begin a new chapter in his life. He is looking for a family who understands that the journey to building trust and confidence will take time but knows that the rewards of watching him grow will be immeasurable.
If you’re ready to open your heart and home to a dog who needs patience, love, and a chance to shine, Ray is waiting for you. Together, you can explore the world for the first time, creating a bond that will last a lifetime.
