Aragorn

My story

Animal Profile: Aragorn is an estimated 2-year-old, 11 lb Chihuahua mix. He was rescued from Stanislaus Animal Services, where he was at risk for euthanasia due to space. Aragorn was nervous in the kennel, but was easily handled. He will do so much better outside of a noisy, stressful shelter. He was brought in with several other small Chihuahuas (Frodo and Pippin) and is dog friendly. Foster Update:  Aragorn is a timid little cutie that is looking for a mellow home with another playful dog. Aragorn is very reserved and takes time to trust; he will need a patient and confident adopter who can show him the world is not so scary and provide the security he needs as he gains confidence. Aragorn can be very avoidant and needs a secure and quiet environment with a fully fenced yard. He loves playing with the resident dogs in his foster home. We are only considering homes with another playful resident dog (or two) to help him feel comfortable.  Aragorn uses the doggie door in his foster home and has been doing great going potty outside; no accidents inside. He loves being in his crate. He is wagging his tail, chewing on chew toys, and running around the house with the resident dogs. He still runs away from humans if we approach him, even with food or treats. He will sit next to us on the couch and let us pet him.  Any potential adopter would, as we said, need to be very committed and very patient, and understand that he may never be a "people" dog.  He's extremely sweet though, and would make a great companion for someone's lonely dog!  Adopter profile: experienced dog owner, resident dog (or two), fenced yard, no kids, willing to continue crate training.
