I was forewarned that likely Chauncey would not leave his kennel, he is very timid. This cute little one year old Silky Terrier was going to be a challenge. I loaded my pocket with cheese cubes (his favorite) and went to meet the elusive Chauncey. It was really odd because he knew that a harness and leash meant something good, and quickly came to me, but backed off as soon as I attempted to put on the harness. Not wanting to add to his discomfort, I talked and talked very softly, fed him cheese, etc; nothing worked, Chauncey dug in and was not budging.
Once I got home later that day, I noticed that shy little Chauncey was no longer listed at the Shelter's website. Apparently a potential adopter had stopped by, it was a two way "love at first sight" with Chauncey joyously greeting his brand new person. Chauncey is in his new home in time for the holidays.
