Gender: Male, neutered Age: 4-ish years old Size: 14 pounds Good with… Dogs? Yes! Cats? Yes! Kids? Yes! History: You could say I’m an international man of mystery!  It’s hard to say where I came from, but someone obviously cared for me at some point.  I was found stray in the Ithaca area at the very end of June and luckily one of the neighbors there offered to care for me until my owners could be found. They put the word out online via FB, reported me to the local SPCA, and had me checked for a microchip (there was none) but shockingly, no one ever came looking for me.  Cayuga Dog Rescue offered to take me into their foster program, and I get to keep…

Yes, see below Background: Thank goodness, CDR rescued me from a high-kill shelter in KY, where I was turned in with 5 other dogs when our owners couldn’t take care of us or didn’t want us anymore.   The staff at the shelter liked me so much because I was so sweet and adorable, but their hearts also broke for me because I was so scared.  Whatever my circumstances were before coming to the shelter, it was clear to everyone that I had not had the luck of kind and loving relationships with people.  I seemed to expect bad or scary things to happen whenever someone came near, and I would freeze…
