About Davidson

Meet Davidson, he is a 3-year-old Labrador mix and weighs 53 pounds. He is lovingly called Davie and is such a sweet and gentle boy who is learning that the world can be a safe place. He came to us extremely underweight and clearly carrying the emotional scars of past abuse, so he will need a patient and understanding adopter who can help him continue building confidence. Davie is very timid and easily startled. When he gets scared, he tends to shut down rather than react, and he has shown no signs of aggression—only fear. Because of his sensitive nature, he responds best to calm guidance and positive reinforcement. He can be nervous around men but has already begun making progress with his foster dad, allowing pets and slowly working on going outside on leash. Over the past few weeks, he has started wagging his tail and even doing a tiny gallop when he feels brave. Davie has shown friendly interest in the foster puppies in his home, happily sniffing noses through their pen and wagging his tail. He is also crate trained and doing well without any accidents. Because of his timid personality, he will likely need a very secure environment, and his adopter will need to be diligent with leashing, gates, and other safety precautions. Davie is truly a gentle soul who just needs patience, kindness, and a safe home where he can continue to blossom. Davidson is located in Houston, TX, but can be transported to most states for an additional fee of $300.
