1/3/18: Mortimer is a very special dog who is going to need a very special home who has the patience, love and understanding of an angel. 



He came to us a little over two months ago now and although he has shown improvement he is still an incredibly scared, shy, and insecure dog. Mortimer is terrified of humans and although he is showing some trust in me, his foster mom, he has shown little to no improvement with warming up to my husband. He displays absolutely no aggression, he's just frozen in fear in the presence of men, so his ideal home would be that of females-only. Because of his fearfulness of humans he should not go to a home with kids as their quick movements and loud noises will be too terrifying for him. 



When first meeting other animals, Mortimer is a little shy but warms up quickly to them (he has met both cats and dogs) and really takes comfort with other dogs around so should go to a home with another dog who is willing to show him that this world and it's humans are not so scary. Mortimer loves to cuddle up with our animals and it's been absolutely heart-bursting to see him run around with our female dog and play and show glimpses of being the goofy dog we know deep down he is. 



Mortimer kennels great at night and during the day when we're gone. We have never heard him bark but he has made some squealy noises in his kennel if he hears us leave with our dogs and he's had to stay home alone. Other than that he's as quiet as a mouse. Mortimer is also pretty well potty-trained as long as he is let out consistently.



Mortimer is currently on anxiety meds so his adopter must be prepared for this monthly expense.
