CLERMONT TO THE RESCUE

Meet Frick, He came in with his brother Frack
History: A woman called the shelter about two random stray puppies living under her porch. They lived under there for about three months. Afraid of people and dog traps and just about everything else. Numerous attempts were made to catch them but it took a long time. When they were finally caught they had missed many months of good, positive human interaction and were fearful, but not aggressive. They were sent to live in a foster home with other friendly dogs in the hopes that they would come around faster.
About this dog: Frick really enjoys the attention of female dogs but he also likes other male dogs quite well. He is a little timid of dogs bigger than him but if they don't attack him he warms up to them and will play with them. Frick enjoys imitating dogs older than him and is learning dog behavior in this way. Frick has seen kittens but seems to give them their space.
He is slow to warm up to people . He does best when paired with a people friendly dog to imitate. If he sees that another dog trusts you then he is quicker to trust you. He has not shown any aggression issues with people. But he will run away from them if he gets scared or if he does not know them. His new owner would have to have patience, understanding, and be willing to be slow and gentle with him. This dog follows other dogs outside to go potty.

Reason: These dogs like to bark. And they also like to run. They need a fenced in yard where they can go outside and play.
Stipulations: This dog needs a fenced yard, he will not walk on a leash at this time. The only form of exercise he understands is running and playing with other dogs.
