Trailor is everyone's favorite dog at Little Shelter. He is one of those everydog's dog.

Trailor was essentially the pack leader of all of the dogs at Little Shelter. He gets along with most dogs because he commands respect from them.

At Little Shelter, it was not uncommon for people to use Trailor to socialize the other dogs at the shelter, whether it was a mouthy puppy or a hyperactive adult. Trailor helped teach the other dogs at the shelter everything from bite inhibition to coming when called.

But, unfortunately, common sense dog owners have never adopted Trailor. Trailor is a very dominant dog who is also very territorial. He has a problem with strangers entering his surroundings and will bite strange people under those circumstances. But once Trailor is good with you, he is great with you, and he does not bite people that he knows and loves.

Trailor just needs owners who are willing to put him away when strangers come over and who will properly introduce him to people who come over regularly. Unfortunately, Trailor has never been lucky enough to get such a permanent home.

Trailor currently lives in a foster home at the sanctuary with his foster parent and seven other dogs. He is housebroken, crate-trained, and has no separation anxiety problems.

Update 7/10/06: Oh, my sweet boy! Trailor is doing better since an attack of Vestibular disease which causes a head tilt and loss of balance. It is a disease common in elderly dogs. He received some holistic treatments, as there is no known cure for it and is doing well. His head still tilts to the side a bit and he is a bit wobbly at times but loves to go for his runs in the woods. He rooms with Cocoa - his best buddy! He came to us in 1996 and was about 2 years old.
