Spuds -

Spuds is a long legged lemon beagle/lab mix, 7 years old and 40-45 lbs. He's got a stubbed tail - shelter thought he had some cocker spaniel in him - we don't see it. He has developed some great friendships with other B&B dogs - might help if he was adopted with one of those companions.
Very selective of his people - not good with strangers. He will bite. But with the right people, he's a good boy- friendly, loves cuddles, mingles well with other dogs, runs around the yard, and follows his people obediently. Does well on a leash.
Here's how he likes to learn to trust: Someone come very frequently and spend 15+ minutes with him - less in the beginning. Check in with him - go volunteer with another dog or other task - and then back to him. Repeat this often and until he is happy to see you. That is how he learned to LOVE us here.
We rescue a fair number of very shy, unsocialized dogs - they can heal - if we, the people, don't mess it up. We use the help of a terrific trainer/dog whisperer - terristeuben.com
