toys and play with him make him feel special hes probably scared .

Answer 4

How old is your dog ? It might be because he/she is missing his/her playmates ( the other 4 dogs ). Take him/her for some nice long walks, give him/her plenty of praise and give some nice treats - scrambled eggs, cottage cheese, whole organic milk and some cheese cubes - he'she will be happy in no time ! Also a new toy might help ? Good luck !  

Answer 5

get him some fun toys

Answer 6

IT is mourning  for its mates. see if you can get another one for it play with.

Answer 7

Aww your dog is probably 1) missing his previous home to some degree, especially if it was a loving home and 2) adjusting to its new physical environment with all its new smells, sounds, physical space, and also you guys.  To ease the adjustment period, make your dog feel special - don't spoil her/him, but do treat her/him well - walks, toys, lots of cuddling and petting, using a sweet voice, act that you are very happy your dog's with you.  I joke around and always say that my dog has three priorities:  receiving and giving lots of love, play/fun, and food :)  

Answer 8

Your dog is just getting use to his new surroundings. He/she will be fine in a couple days. He/she just needs to adjust to the new environment.
