"Howden" is a 2 year old american bulldog mix. He came from an unfortunate hoarding situation. When he arrived he did not trust humans and would cower and tremble anytime someone approached. Since being in rescue, Howden has started coming out of his shell. He's still shy with new people but is slowly gaining confidence. Howden is learning how to walk nicely on a slip leash. He requires time when meeting new people, but is very interested if they just ignore him for a few minutes. He loves to be outside in a yard with people. He's a curious dog. Howden has been wonderful with other dogs and loves to play, though he is shy at first. Howden is continuing to work on his confidence. He will need someone who is willing to provide slow introductions to people and dogs. Due to his need for slow introductions a home without children would be ideal. Though a confident dog friend to show him the ropes, would be a big bonus.
