🐶 Ralph, a small Shih Tzu boy, just over 7 years old, is back… again 💔 A tiny, sensitive dog who simply hasn’t been understood.
He is anxious. He is overwhelmed. He asks for space… and when that is not listened to — he panics. Yes, he can snap. But he is a small, frightened dog, not a danger. He reacts because he feels unsafe, not because he wants to harm. It is not his fault. His first life made him this way… and now he keeps paying the price.
All he is asking for is time, patience and someone who will listen to him. If you give him that… he gives back so much more than you expect. A sweet, cuddly, devoted little boy, once he feels safe.
🐾 From foster
He needs an experienced foster carer who can offer a calm, quiet, one-to-one home, ideal with no other pets or children. But wirh slow introduction can live happily wih older kids and calm female dogs. (Currently at Foster with child and a dog, took some time to settle, but after a week absolutely no issues)
Once he feels safe, he is incredibly loving and affectionate and enjoys cuddles, but when in a new home he is extremely anxious and easily triggered by strangers, knocks at the door and especially men.
When overwhelmed, he can become reactive very quickly and has snapped out of fear. When worked up, he may try to bite and can redirect this onto people or animals.
Because his triggers are not always obvious, he needs someone experienced with anxious dogs who understands the risks and can manage him safely with patience, space and consistent routines while he settles.
