What does a brother have to do to get adopted around here

According to my calendar, we are coming to the end of week 15 with Hermes. Don't get me wrong, it has been great and a nice break from the shelter for Hermes, but he needs to get a permanent home. He is bright, genuinely wants to be with his master (just not in the lap or kissing them), playful, and sweet. Yes, he is afraid of a shadow or the electric meters along the sidewalk during his walks and he does need something to do or he may chew a few things left around the yard, but that is not too bad. He gets along well with other female dogs. I just don't know what to think.

I spent last weekend at the shelter and while I was hanging out with Hermes, he was pretty good. Saturday morning was an Eagle project at the shelter for our scout troop and I went so we were there early. I put Hermes in the meet and greet run with KD and Valerie because part of the project was to take down the old shade shelter in their run and put up a new one. We worked on the stuff and the other dogs went into eat breakfast and I let Hermes out to roam around and he hung around us while we built benches. When the other dogs came back out, I put Hermes back up with KD and Valerie. After the Eagle project, I hung out with the 3 of them and Hermes had a visitor and he was good and came over and let her pet him. She fell for a puppy, so that didn't pan out for Hermes. Sunday I spent the day and we kept Hermes in the office with me part of the day and he just hung around and when he got bored he laid down and didn't bother to get up when people came in.

Oh well, that is my lament for today.
