General German Shepherd Dog & Husky Mix Warwick, RI

General is a 2 year German Shepard mix (probably shepherd, husky and rottweiler). General is currently in foster care outside of the shelter in order to work on severe shyness. General is a VERY sweet and affectionate dog, but is (Iiterally) scared of his own shadow. He will require a very patient home that can work with him to overcome his nervousness. He is very sensitive to noises and strange sights (windchimes and baby strollers are very scary for him, for example). General is house trained and knows some basic obedience. He is crate trained, and will NEED a crate (or crate-type space) in his new home so that he has a space he can feel secure in. General is good with cats, although he can be scared of them at times (there is a cat in his current foster home who bosses him around). General will also need a home with another dog to give him confidence and companionship. We are looking for a rural home for General as well, as there are just too many frightening noises and sights in urban and even suburban environments. However, as he spooks very easily, he should have a fenced yard, or not be allowed out of doors off leash. General will take some patience and understanding, but will make an amazing companion for anyone willing to give him the time and love he needs! Since he is housed off-site, if you are interested in meeting General, please contact the RISPCA and fill out an application to schedule a time to meet him.
