Welcome to YT and thank you for rescuing. I too have a rescue a surrender by prev. owner. This poor baby sounds like he was very neglected and not loved. You will need much patience with him and give lots of TLC. My boy was not neglected, he was loved much, he was surrendered for financial reasons. He didn't know how to play with toys because he never had any, over time he is now the yorkie he was meant to be. You may never know what his past was, how he was treated, remember you are a stranger to him, and he is scared.He is in a home where everything is strange and scary, new smells, sounds, surroundings. Everything with this dog needs to be done in baby steps. He has to gain TRUST in YOU, he has to bond with YOU, he has to learn you will keep him safe. Be very careful opening your front door if he is "bolting", maybe confine him to a room where he is not near the door. Leash walking sounds like it's something new to him and that will take some time for him to adjust to. Great that you have a vet appointment for Monday. Sounds like this guy has found a wonderful loving home, something he needs to learn also. Don't worry about a name lol, you will find a perfect one for him. Please keep us posted on his adjustment in his new life.
