Ford came to the rescue filled with fear, unable to be touched. He came from a home overwhelmed with animals and missed out on early socialization. After being paired with a people-loving puppy, Ford slowly realized people are kind and that being petted can be comforting. Ford remains a bit nervous but now accepts gentle touch and gets braver each day. He has lived outdoors his whole life, but is adapting to indoor life and has learned to love a soft bed. Around eight months old and nearly full grown at 35 lbs, Ford is searching for a patient, understanding adopter who can help him gain confidence. With time and encouragement, he's likely to blossom—especially if given the space to go at his own pace. Ford gets along well with friendly dogs and is good with children.
