That really is awesome that you are doing that. These shy ones touch my heart too. We one dog in our rescue for a year. He was pulled with many other dogs from a desert in Calif. They were neglected in the form of no human interaction. This dog is great with other dogs. He is the most shy dog I have ever seen. Still. He likes to pretend he is invisable at adoption day. We finally had a family really willing to try to encorporate him into their family, a playmate for their big
terrier mix. So far so good.
Good for you.
