nervous rescue dog

Hi There!
I just adopted a 10 month old lab mix, Gryphon from a rescue organization. I don't know a whole lot about his past other than that he has been moved around a fair bit (from the pound to a foster home and then to us). We have had him for about 10 days. He is a very nervous little guy. Gryphon is such a sweet dog. He loves to kiss and cuddle. He has never shown even the slightest sign of aggresion. Last week he seemed to be doing well and then after the weekend he seemed to get worse. We had company over on the weekend and he was very scared. Is it possible he thought they were coming to take him away? He either wants to hide in his crate or he sticks to me like glue. He is quite afraid of my boyfriend (who lives with me). He is nothing but gentle with Gryphon but he seems to shy away from him. He loves other dogs and gets really excited when he is around them. I try not to coddle him, but he just looks so scared and sad. Please help! I really want the little guy to feel at home.
Cheers,
Brie
