Badger

My story

Meet Badger! Badger came to us with two friends, all of whom lived the first part of their lives in severe neglect. It was clear from the beginning that Badger took it upon himself to be the protector. So long as his two friends were near all that mattered was making sure they were okay and no one hurt them. Before long he found himself without them as they moved on to new fosters or new homes and he was faced with having to learn what it meant to be a dog. After 7 months of patience and love he has begun to blossom and appreciate the joys of what being a dog means! He loves a good toy, his daily zoomies up and down the hall, and cuddling up next to his favorite person. Treats, music, and just being by your side are his happy place. Badger still has some work to do. He does not like loud noises or sudden movement. He likes to touch you but isn’t a fan of you touching him (unless it’s to play or take a treat from your hand). He is still learning what a leash is and we have made great progress but it’ll take some time until he decides leashes are nothing to be afraid of. In a way, Badger is a lot like a cat! Kick your feet up and watch some TV and he’ll stay by your side for hours. Sprinkle in the occasional play session and he’ll be your best friend forever! Badger loves his crate, it’s where he feels safest. He enjoys the company of having other small dogs around. Bonus points if you’re a man although he isn’t too picky. We’re hoping Badger can find a patient home that is willing to go at his pace. We are confident that once he feels comfortable with you that he will shower you with 5 years of overdue love he has to give.
