Meet shy Reuben, who is waiting patiently for the perfect family who will practice a lot of love and gentle compassion.
Reuben came from Puerto Rico, and was rescued from a bad situation. His motivation are food, treats, and warm comfy naps.
“I need a slow-feeder bowl, cuz I love to eat, and sometimes I eat too fast for my wittle belly! I just started to learn to like being petted by humans, but sometimes I flinch and can be very scared. I still don’t know how to play with toys, and I would love to get use to going for walks. These things look like a lot of fun to me. I’m currently on a special diet for my alopecia (hair loss). Please, please be gentle with me. I have been scared and my life was not easy. I need cooing, gentle voices, and a lot of love.-Reuben
Reuben really hopes you can teach him love again.
Reuben is almost 6 years old. He does great with cats, other dogs, and kids, however we prefer that Reuben does not go home with young children due to him scaring very easily. He needs time to acclimate in a quiet, tranquil environment and to not be scared.
