Alton came to the shelter under tough circumstances, having been left tied to a tree outside an animal hospital. Naturally shy and quick to startle, he needs a family willing to move at his pace and offer a gentle environment. Underneath it all, Alton is genuinely friendly and has a truly sweet side. Treats are the way to win him over, and spending quiet time together brings out his softer nature. If you’re patient and want to earn a loyal companion, Alton is worth getting to know.
