POCKY's Story

Pocky is a black German Shepherd with a gentle, sensitive nature. He walks well on leash and is easy to handle, but he can be unsure around sudden activity or loud situations. When he saw kids playing nearby, he became scared and tried to hide behind a bush, showing that busy environments can feel overwhelming for him. <br/><br/>With space and calm guidance, Pocky settles nicely. After moving farther away, he was able to watch from a distance and did much better. He will benefit from an adopter who understands shy dogs and is willing to help him build confidence at his own pace.<br/><br/>Pocky would do best in a patient, low-key home where he can feel safe and supported. With consistency and kindness, he has the potential to become a loyal and steady companion. come see if you two match!
