History:
Centi was encountered by Animal Control with 44 other dogs, living in a single mobile home with their owner. He ended up in a high kill shelter and was rescued from there.

Other important info:
Centi is a sweet, gentle little guy with a heart that’s learning to be brave. When he first came to us, he was terrified of the world - shaking in a crate at the shelter. Since then, he’s made beautiful progress and continues to come out of his shell a little more each day.

Centi loves to be held, enjoys being close to his people, and finds comfort in the company of other dogs. Centi would do best in a patient, loving home that will continue to help him build confidence and feel safe.
