Strider

There's another new boy at the refuge! Meet Strider, a 10ish-month-old shepherd mix. He was on the run for a while around the airport before he was finally trapped and taken to the La Plata County Humane Society. Strider is a very shy feral dog, and he would not have been able to be rehabilitated by the shelter. Wolfwood decided to take Strider in as a favor to the shelter. So while he did not come from Wolfwood like some people feared when he showed up on the local lost and found page, it turns out Wolfwood was where he needed to be. 

​

Strider would likely never adapt to being someone's pet, but at the refuge he'll have a safe place to exist as he is. We'll work on socializing him so that he no longer is fearful when we're around. He is a very playful guy and loves his penmate Tuli.
