Skipper and Gilligan came to us as very terrified puppies at about 3 months old. Both boys have been in a loving, wonderful, and patient foster home that has been working with them non stop to try and socialize them. They are about 5-6 months now and still very scared of almost everything but they have made progress. They do seem to bond more comfortably with females, however, their foster parent is a woman so they may just need consistency with the man in the house. Skipper and Gilligan need to be adopted with another dog in the household that is confident. These boys will not be adopted into a home together as they are too fearful together and really need to be separated. These pups are not for first time dog owners, they will probably always be slow to adjust to new scenarios. A confident dog and owner will greatly help push them to success to at least be able to live comfortably in a home environment. These boys need a QUIET home with NO children in the household. They would be great for someone that works from home or is retired. They are cuddly and affectionate after getting acquainted with their person. These 2 boys had a really rough start to life and they just need a home that understands each of them. We will provide you plenty of training/reading material to help with their transition as well as a reference to a wonderful dog trainer here locally. Gilligan and Skipper will be met offsite at the foster home for the least stressful meet and greet. Please research POSITIVE training techniques before applying to adopt. We care very much about your application answers and they are reviewed for completeness and the best match.
