Shy Binky could probably use a binky to comfort him! A 4-year-old Chihuahua mix, Binky arrived to our shelter from Fresno County just days ago, and the city of San Francisco is overwhelming right now, and meeting new people is quite frightening. (I feel you, Binky, I feel you.) At the very least, Binky is learning that the humans give him food and have love to offer. He learns this by us humans never pressuring him into an interaction. Building up positive associations involves force-free visits, simply tossing him treats, speaking softly to him, and walking away, no obligation to give us anything back. Day by day, he is getting just a little closer to taking treats from our hands. (By little, we mean by the inch, but at least it’s something!) Binky is looking forward to a household that will continue building on the foundation of positive reinforcement and fear-free handling we’ve implemented here. Do you have patience, time, and TLC? Binky would like to be your stay-at-home study buddy and Netflix connoisseur. He just needs to know you mean no harm first. Come in to our adoption center to learn more with an adoption counselor.
