🐾💛 D'OH! It's the Bob Allen Motor Mall Pet of the Week: Homer! 💛🐾
Unlike his famous Springfield namesake, our Homer isn't interested in donuts, Duff b**r, or getting into trouble at the nuclear power plant. He's got something much simpler on his wish list: a little peace, some patience, and a family to call his own. ❤️
At just one year old, this handsome black-and-white boy is still learning that the world isn't such a scary place. The hustle and bustle of shelter life can be overwhelming, and Homer sometimes needs a little time to decide whether new people are friend or foe.
But don't have a cow, man! We're seeing progress!
🐾 The great outdoors: Homer is much more relaxed outside, where he can explore without the commotion of the kennels.
❤️ Getting acquainted: He tends to warm up to men a little more quickly, but he's slowly learning to trust new faces.
🐶 His doggie friends are excellent references. Homer feels more confident when he sees other dogs interacting with people. It's almost like he's waiting for one of his buddies to say, "Don't worry, Homer. This one's cool."
Homer probably won't race into your arms the moment you meet him. But give him a little time, and you'll discover a sweet young dog who's doing his best to be brave.
He doesn't need a trip to Springfield. Homer needs a home where he can finally relax and discover just how good life can be.
And here's something even Mr. Burns couldn't put a price on: the joy of watching a shy dog learn to trust. 💛
Come meet Homer at the Danville-Boyle County Humane Society. Excellent! (Imagine that last bit in your best Mr. Burns voice.) 🐾
