Ferragamo - San Antonio 's Story

SPECIAL NEEDS:<br/>🐾 Experienced adopter – Kennel, Mill, or shy dog<br/>🐾 Home much of the time<br/>🐾 Securely fenced yard required – No dog parks<br/>🐾 Quiet household<br/>🐾 Not a fit for first-time dog owners<br/>🐾 Apartment living without a private yard is not a fit<br/>🐾 A confident resident small dog is required<br/>🐾 Patient, slow introductions to new people (especially men)<br/>🐾 Time and consistency for leash training and confidence-building<br/><br/>Are you a match for a kennel raised Italian Greyhound?<br/>https://form.jotform.com/260224330203034<br/><br/>Meet Ferragamo - 4 years young: A Sensitive Soul Waiting for His "Person"<br/>Ferragamo is a delicate, sweetheart of a boy who is looking for a patient and understanding home where he can truly bloom. While he may start out as a "wallflower," once he feels safe, he reveals a heart of pure gold.<br/><br/>His Personality<br/>Ferragamo is the definition of "slow and steady wins the heart." He is naturally timid and standoffish at first, preferring to observe from a distance rather than rushing in for cuddles. However, once the ice melts, he is a different dog—he absolutely melts into pets and leans into affection once he knows he’s safe.<br/><br/>The Perfect Home Environment<br/>The "Buddy System":<br/>Ferragamo finds his courage through other dogs. He must have a confident canine sibling in his forever home to show him the ropes and provide the security he needs to navigate the world.<br/><br/>A Gentle Touch:<br/>He is currently very fearful of men. A female-led household or a home with very patient, gentle males who are willing to give him space and allow him to approach on his own terms will be essential for his success.<br/>Patience with the "Great Outdoors":<br/>Ferragamo is still learning that the world outside isn't so scary. He is currently leash-shy and needs a family willing to work on positive reinforcement for walks—time is essential.<br/><br/>Why You’ll Love Him<br/>There is nothing more rewarding than the moment Ferragamo decides you are his "safe space." Watching him come out of his shell is a beautiful journey. If you have a quiet home, a friendly dog, and a lot of love to give, Ferragamo will repay you with deep trust and quiet devotion.<br/><br/>Potty Training:<br/>He is a work in progress! He prefers indoor potty pads and still has the occasional accident. He’ll need a family dedicated to a consistent routine to help him reach his full potty-trained potential.<br/><br/>Are you the right fit for Ferragamo?<br/>Before applying, please review the following:<br/>Are you a match for a kennel-raised Italian Greyhound?<br/>https://form.jotform.com/260224330203034
