This compact 30 pound pup is Guajino! Guajino came in with another dog as APO pickups after their owner passed away. Guajino and Joda (his sibling) were found in the home by a family member on the 10th. The family member noted when she found them in the home they were fighting with each other over food. Both dogs sustained injuries, but Guajino has more injuries than his sister. When coming into the shelter Guajino was friendly with both APO's and they described him as the cutest little nugget! They also noted that he knows commands in spanish. Since settling into the shelter though Guajino has been quiet and scared, so we sadly haven't seen his true personality. While out with staff Guajino can be tense and will whale eye and lip lick, but will also slowly approach and seek out comfort. He allows all handling, but is understandably nervous after everything he has been through. Guajino's wounds are responding well to medicine but he would benefit from a calming and cozy home environment where he can continue to heal and decompress. Due to Guajino's fear levels at this time he needs to go to an adult only home. Due to them fighting over food it is recommended Guajino goes to a single pet household where he can recover from his injuries and lower the risk of any guarding with other household pets. Guajino is a sensitive and shy boy who would benefit from a rescue or experienced foster who can help him open up and be the best boy we know he can be. NEW NOTES: Per staff 5/15, "Guajino has been a very nervous boy and has been barking at alot of people in our care and hasn't been too interested in treats. I've been trying to feed him a treat or two for the past could days and he has finally taken some treats from me. He allowed me to give him some pets today and let me take him outside. He definitely warmed up to me, he's a sweet boy who has been through some tough times recently and just needs some time to warm up new people" Video: Guajino!: https://youtube.com/shorts/j-n1GDCeFrA?feature=share Guajino and Angelica: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/GVVrnNFN1ps
