Sly's Story
Meet Sly: The Handsome Shy-Guy Looking for a Forever Home!<br/><br/>1 year old, 60lb Sly found himself at the shelter in June of 2025. He was very nervous in his kennel at first, wary of people and generally very timid. But with time out in the yard volunteers noticed he opened up, being playful with other dogs and becoming more comfortable with people thanks to the help of his dog friends. Our team at Dog Coalition LA was able to get him into a foster home in September thanks to a dedicated foster!<br/><br/>In his foster home, Sly is becoming more comfortable with his foster parents and other people. Though still nervous, we are seeing him come out of his shell and learn what it feels like to be a dog out in the real world. He loves spending time chilling and napping in his crate, which also serves as a safe space for him if he’s feeling overwhelmed. Sly is potty trained and learning excellent leash manners during his daily walks and at our weekly walk classes.<br/><br/>Sly is fostered in a home with 2 other dogs who help him to build his confidence and sense of security. For this reason, we would like to see him go to a home with at least one other dog. We’ve seen him be gentle, playful, and social with all kinds of dogs. We also believe he would do well in a home with cats! <br/><br/>What You Should Know About Sly:<br/><br/>- This young fella is looking for a forever home willing to take time and space with him, help him feel safe, and build his confidence as he continues to mature into a wonderful guy!<br/><br/>- Sly prefers slow, steady, and calm introductions. His sweet and shy temperament coupled with a handsome charm is sure to win you over!<br/><br/>- Friend of dogs and cats alike! Looking for a home with at least one other canine companion.<br/><br/>To meet Sly, please fill out an adoption form on dogcoalitionla.org/adopt and follow @dogcoaltionla for updates!
