Meet Ian — a quiet, sensitive boy who is still learning how to feel safe and comfortable in the world around him. Ian can be very nervous at first and will need a patient, understanding home that’s willing to let him settle in at his own pace. While people can be a little overwhelming for him initially, he finds a lot of comfort and confidence in the company of other dogs and would love a calm canine friend to help show him the ropes.

Ian is the type of dog who thrives with gentle routines, a peaceful environment, and people who understand that trust takes time. He may always be more independent and reserved, preferring to quietly coexist beside his people rather than constantly seek attention, but the bond you build with him will be incredibly meaningful. Watching Ian slowly come out of his shell and grow more confident is sure to be rewarding for the right home.
