He walked right into the trap.<br/><br/>Poseidon remains feral. While he has made progress since rescue, he is not a social dog and is not ready for a typical pet home.<br/><br/>When Poseidon first arrived, he would bite out of fear. Today, he no longer bites, but he still does not trust people and prefers to keep his distance. He tolerates more than he once did, but human interaction remains difficult for him.<br/><br/>Poseidon thrives around other dogs and enjoys playgroup time where his personality shines. He is most comfortable around canine companions and would do best with confident, social dogs that can help him continue building confidence.<br/><br/>Poseidon is not aggressive. He is fearful, overwhelmed, and needs an environment where he can continue progressing at his own pace.<br/><br/>Because Poseidon appears to be a Queensland Heeler mix, we would especially love to find someone familiar with the breed.
