Submitting... When River first arrived at the Leeds Rehoming Centre, he was very anxious around people and wouldn’t leave the den they created for him which was always left open as a place he could to retreat when he needed space. Thanks to the efforts of his canine carers, River’s trust in people was built again by visiting him several times a day and giving him lots of positive reinforcement. After a while, the pooch had the confidence to go out for walks and meet other dogs at the centre. Although he has made a huge amount of progress, staff are continuing to work with him to build his dependence and will be hoping to find him his forever home soon.
