Congratulations, sounds like you are off to a great start, take it slow with him, let him come to you on his terms, losing his beloved owner,pack and being in a shelter for 2 weeks is very stressful and confusing to him. Your description of his first day / night sounds like he is just grateful to be in a family environment again. Precious little guy. My adopted boy bonded with me almost immediately, he was a surrender, spent only 2 or 3 days with my vet's rescue team, not in a shelter as long as your little guy did. Most rescues takes about a week or two for them to gain trust and bond with their new family, life style and new schedules. If he seems shy just be patient, speak in soft tones, praise and give treats for letting you know when he needs to go potty. Please keep us up-dated on his new life with you and your family. Good luck.
