About Ian:

Ian is a sweet and loving young pup!  He’s little shy around strangers or new environment, but will warm up and become comfortable after 10 minutes.  Ian had a tough start in life; he used to be skittish and reserved when we first met him.  It took us a while to gradually bond with him, and then guided him to interact with humans, other dogs and even cats.  Finally, he came out of his shell thru the lead of leash and a sweet and outgoing puppy that befriended him; Ian quickly learned to appreciate the good feelings of cuddling and showing affection with humans.

Now Ian walks on busy streets with confidence; he has no problem meeting strangers.  He enjoys the companion of dogs in his foster home a lot.  His favorite pastime is hanging out with dogs in the park and his daily walks.

Ian’s rescue story:

Ian was a stray puppy; the rescuer found him whimpering nearby a farm when he was just 5-w-o.

We took Ian in and placed him with a loving foster home.  Ian has since been trained to socialize and learned good house manners.  Please watch Ian’s videos to learn how much fun this sweet pup can bring to your family as long as he’s given a second chance!
