Male Retriever, Black Labrador/Mix named Newman available for adoption

Newman is a very loving dog and just really needs his special person or people to be patient with him and give him the time that is allowed. The world seems to be a very scary place for him, and he is learning everything kind of late in time but he shows hope. When Newman gets to know the people he trust he loves to gallop around and is even learning to play with toys. A smaller yard seems to be his comfort level right now, while walks will be a work in progress. Newman is a very large, athletic and frightened big boy, so fences are easy for him to gallop or jump over. When Newman is calm and relaxed he loves to receive full body massages and leans into you.
