13-07-26 Jonah is a very nervous boy who has come to us from a breeder and is still finding his feet in his new surroundings. He is particularly worried about being handled and can be touch-sensitive, so he needs people to approach him slowly and gently, allowing him to build trust at his own pace.

Jonah is looking for a calm, patient, adult-only home where his new family will understand that progress may be slow but incredibly rewarding. He has never experienced life in a home before, so everything is new to him, and he will need plenty of time, kindness, and reassurance as he learns that people can be trusted. He will need adopters with experience with ex-breeders that can give him the tools he needs to grow.

It is essential that Jonah has at least one kind, confident resident dog in his new home. A canine companion will help him feel secure and give him someone to look to as he gains confidence and begins to embrace home life.

As with many dogs from breeding environments, Jonah will need gentle guidance with house training and learning to walk on a lead. At the moment, he is so worried that lead walking is likely to take time, and initially, spending time exploring a secure garden and building his confidence may be the best place to start.

Jonah is an incredibly sensitive soul who simply hasn't had the chance to experience the love and security every dog deserves. With patience, understanding, and a family willing to let him progress at his own pace, we believe he has every chance of learning to trust and becoming a wonderfully loyal companion.

Jonah has arrived to us extremely underweight, with hair loss and what seems to be old cuts on his ears. This boy needs plenty of TLC as he continues to grow.

Jonah has a travel document.
