⚡ Rescue Needed: Trueno ⚡

Trueno (“Thunder” in Spanish) is a young dog who is struggling with the shelter environment, but continuing to show promising progress with patient, positive handling.

Since intake, Trueno has shown fear and anxiety, particularly around leashing, sudden movement, and unfamiliar people. However, staff have consistently observed that he responds well to calm interactions, treats, gentle encouragement, and low-pressure handling. Over time, he has begun approaching handlers willingly, taking treats softly, engaging in training games, and allowing increased handling. Trueno has also shown the ability to recover, re-engage, and settle with experienced guidance and management.

Trueno recently participated in a playgroup with other dogs and did well overall, displaying a gentle/dainty play style and social behavior. Staff noted that maintaining positive, structured interactions helped him succeed.

Trueno is a year and 7 months young, neutered male listed as an American Foxhound. Tested negative for HW and is up to date on Rabies, DAPP, Bordetella vaccinations, and microchipped. Weight at time of neuter was 61.2 lbs.

Underneath the fear is a sensitive, social young dog who is trying hard to trust. Can your rescue help Trueno continue on his confidence-building journey and help him succeed?
