Volcom

Don't let his size fool you—Volcom is one of the biggest softies you'll ever meet.<br/><br/>This gentle giant has a heart every bit as big as he is, but he's still learning that the world isn't such a scary place. New experiences can be overwhelming, and sometimes even his own shadow gives him pause. When he's unsure, Volcom looks to his people and canine friends for reassurance.<br/><br/>He absolutely loves other dogs and has done wonderfully with the dogs in his foster home. Having a confident canine companion would likely help him continue building confidence. He appears to be potty trained, although he may have an occasional nervous piddle when feeling overwhelmed.<br/><br/>Volcom dreams of being a lap dog despite his impressive size and would happily spend hours curled up beside his favorite people. He especially loves oversized stuffed animals and plush toys almost as much as he loves quiet cuddle time.<br/><br/>Walking on leash is still something he's learning. Right now, seeing the leash or being asked to leave the house can cause him to shut down, so he'll need a patient adopter committed to confidence-building and positive reinforcement. Because he's a large dog who can accidentally bump into people when startled, a home without very small children might be the best fit.<br/><br/>With kindness, patience, and someone willing to believe in him, Volcom is going to blossom into an incredibly loyal, loving companion.<br/><br/>They were rescued from a shelter in New Mexico.<br/><br/>Meet and greets are by appointment only.
