Ford spent his early days dodging cars and people, unsure who to trust and always on alert. Rescued after weeks as a stray, he was once shy and anxious, but a steady routine and gentle care have brought out his braver side. These days, Ford is learning that life can be fun—he loves to romp in the yard, enjoys meeting new canine pals, and no longer hides from kind faces. He may still flinch at sudden movements, but the progress is real: Ford is coming into his own, curious and hopeful. At heart, he’s gentle, keeps his kennel clean, and walks well on leash. A home with patience and a good supply of squeaky toys will help him settle the rest of the way. Ford is neutered, vaccinated, heartworm negative, and ready to leave his past behind for a home that will let him blossom. Click apply and let the tail-wagging begin!
