You've had this dog how long? A few days? He's not a little puppy who can adapt to all these changes, travelling, new family etc in a few hours. He's a 6 year old dog whose whole world has been turned upside down, he's lost everything and everyone he knew, and he needs time to adjust.

It could take a month or two.
Amen. I agree 100%

I would not be taking him out to visit people at the moment.
This is true, we tell our adopters not to take the dog anywhere visiting for 2 weeks. They need a calm period. Rescue dogs can be very stressed and dogs don't always react well to situations when stressed. It is best to keep things low key.
