About BEWILDERED

Meet Bewildered - A Big Boy with an even Bigger Heart ���� Why Bewildered Needs You Fearful but Not Hopeless: Bewildered arrived terrified and confused. He's shown signs of extreme fear (flinching, snapping when overwhelmed), but he's also made small, meaningful progress with patient handlers. Already Showing Bravery: In recent interactions, Bewildered has allowed leashing without incident, explored outdoor yards, and cautiously approached people. With a calm environment and a kind heart, he has the capacity to trust. Healthy & Strong: Medically cleared and in good shape-he's just overwhelmed by the shelter setting and needs a quiet, experienced home to decompress. Big Boy, Bigger Heart: This 80+ lb gentle giant isn't aggressive-he's scared. He flinches from touch and fast movements but shows no interest in conflict when given space and understanding. ���� Who He's Looking For ���%8D Adult-only home-no kids ��%90 New Hope Partner placement required �٤%A0 Patient, dog-savvy person with experience in fear-based behavior and a commitment to positive reinforcement training ���%8F��%8F A foster or adoptive home where he can decompress, rebuild confidence, and learn people can be safe �%9D%A4��%8F Why He's Worth It Bewildered didn't choose to end up in a loud, chaotic shelter.
