*STYLES - Labrador Retriever-Unknown Mix Male Dog For Adoption in Camarillo, California, USA

Dog Breed: Labrador Retriever / Mixed (medium coat).

When Styles first arrived at the shelter, he was so afraid that we were unable to get him to walk on a leash. His handling has improved, and he's getting out of his kennel now thanks to a team of dedicated volunteers. He still cowers in fear for most of his short walks. While he tolerates touch from humans, he have not seen him seeking out attention from us or looking to people as a source of comfort - though he has not displayed any defensive or aggressive behavior with us! Styles has made huge progress, and he was able to walk to the play yard for the first time to interact with dogs in playgroup! We see so much potential for this little guy, but the level of stress and fear he is living in is heartbreaking despite interventions with anti-anxiety medication and staff and volunteer support. We think that Styles will likely enjoy the company of other dogs once he has a chance to feel more comfortable and decompress in a less stressful space. He's looking for a foster, adopter, or rescuer to help him build his confidence, walk better on leash, and find his permanent home. Adopters can visit Styles at 600 Aviation Drive, Camarillo CA.
