For me that's a call I couldn't make as I don't know your dog or how a very fearful dog would react. Could you take that dog on a trial basis and see how your guy works out with him. If he's as fearful as you said in the original post, he could be helped by a friend to keep from being alone if they get along perhaps - but - no way to know how your guy's fear response to so many things willl be affected by having another dog in the home. But if he's a truly fearful dog, no second pet will work as well as the training and working with him will.
