? A Dog Just Trying to Hold On
Rambo is a young, high-energy pup who has been trying his best to stay positive in the shelter. Despite showing clear signs of kennel stress?barking, jumping, pacing?Rambo shines the moment he?s out of the kennel. He becomes a different dog: gentle, playful, and eager to please.

He greets staff with a soft stare and a slow wagging tail. Once outside, he enjoys playing ?fence tag? with neighboring dogs. He walks better on leash with baby talk and encouragement, and after playtime, he returns to his kennel calmer and more relaxed.

Shelter staff have noted:

?When I approached his kennel, Rambo was waiting for me so it was easy to leash him up. He walked beside me with a wagging tail. After playtime, he just lay in his kennel with a relaxed body.?

Like so many dogs, Rambo is shutting down in the shelter?not because he?s a bad dog, but because he?s overwhelmed. He needs a calm home where he can decompress, get daily structure, and be given the chance to be the sweet companion he is outside of the kennel.
