Houston has been at Paws Give Me Purpose for about 72 hours and is slowly decompressing and learning the daily routine.
We have noticed he is very shy and fearful. He approaches with caution but is slowly warming up to those of us who are here full time.
Certain objects, quick movements and school busses passing by on our walk this morning caused some reactivity, but if calmly spoken to he will calm down.
Houston was sent to Paws Give Me Purpose by Yorkie911 Rescue, Inc with the hope that we can help evaluate, asses and work with him through his issues as well as determine his future adoptability. Should he not be a candidate for adoption, he will live out his life here in Sanctuary.
The original adopters returned him to the rescue citing anxiety and aggression toward the children and strangers coming to the home. It was simply too much for them to handle.
Houston has his own room here at Paws Give Me Purpose at the moment; when he feels overwhelmed, he will go to his own space to relax.
Once we feel Houston is ready we will slowly introduce him to new people and a couple other dogs in order to assess his status further.
Stay tuned for updates on this precious boy.
