I know my tough-guy act at the rescue might fool you, but the truth is... I'm scared.
Meet Paco, a one-year-old Shepherd/Pit mix who came to us as a stray. We don't know what his life looked like before rescue, but it's clear he hasn't always been shown that people can be kind. New faces make him nervous, and the shelter environment has him feeling overwhelmed, so you'll likely see his kennel-reactive side before you get to meet the real Paco.
The real Paco is a young dog who just needs someone willing to give him time. Time to decompress. Time to realize he doesn't have to be afraid anymore. Time to learn that humans can bring love, treats, and safety—not fear.
Once Paco trusts you, you'll have a loyal best friend who's ready to leave his past behind. He'll thrive in a patient home that understands shy dogs and is willing to let him settle in at his own pace. Watching a dog like Paco finally relax and realize he's home is one of the most rewarding experiences there is.
If you have a little patience and a big heart, Paco is waiting to show you just how much love he's been saving.
