Sweet Chewy has been at the shelter for over 4 years, but hasn’t lost hope of finding his forever home. Chewy‘s journey hasn’t been easy. He’s frightened by many things – loud noises, sudden movements, the overwhelming world outside his kennel all because of the past he couldn’t escape. He’s been let down before and because of that he carries his hope carefully. Let’s not let him down again. He needs someone who will meet him with patience, gentleness and time – someone who understands trauma and that trust takes more than a treat 💔 Chewy is not the dog who will run up to you tail wagging on your first meeting. 🩷 He is the dog who will quietly inch closer when you sit with him. 🩷 The dog who will lean into your touch when he knows you’re kind. 🩷 The dog who will one day give you his whole heart when he knows it’s safe to do so. Chewy doesn’t need much - he needs a safe place and he needs YOU! Please don’t overlook this beautiful, gentle soul. He’s been through enough. Let’s help him find the love, patience, and freedom he’s been waiting so long for. Come meet chewy at HSO!
