**Meet Fido!** Fido is a 6-month-old Terrier/Bassett mix weighing about 26 lbs. Behind those soulful eyes is a very sweet boy who just needs a little time to feel secure. Fido is extremely timid at first and does best with slow, patient introductions - especially with other dogs. New situations can feel overwhelming for him, but with gentle guidance and consistency, he begins to relax and show his true personality. And when he does? That's when the magic happens. Once Fido trusts you, he absolutely loves a good cuddle. He bonds deeply with his people and has a soft, affectionate side that makes him incredibly special. When he feels comfortable, his playful puppy energy shines through and you'll see his happy, fun-loving side. Fido would thrive in a calm, understanding home that can give him the time and reassurance he needs to build confidence. In return, you'll get a loyal best friend who loves with his whole heart.
