  1. That is great! My dog was dropped off by his previous owner at a shelter and he was due to be killed. ( I know, I have the papers). He was saved from that. Yes, he's shy, and that can make him react in a bad way, but he's also very loving, incredibly fun and should never have been put into that situation. I just wish all dogs could have a second chance.
