From her current foster Family: `Chrissy is the biggest cuddle bug! She loves to cuddle with humans and dogs alike. She has an average amount of energy, and really will match the energy level of the dogs/ humans she`s paired with. She`s good with having a lazy day or a busy long walk/ hike kind of day. She`s currently living with puppies and older dogs and transitions well btwn chasing puppies to napping around the house with ease. Chrissy does well with both male and female dogs and dogs of all sizes! She sleeps in a crate at night, and needs to be crated when we leave the house. She has some separation anxiety that I think will get better with time, so in the meantime we leave her crated with an enrichment toy while we`re out of the house.
She`s house trained, and uses a dog door well. I don`t think Chrissy requires a yard, so may do well in an apartment. She is very strong, but also very easily redirected! She`s been easy to train. She has quickly figured out people`s food is not for her, and she will listen to `leave it` or follow directions to sit in a dog bed with a toy quietly while we finish eating.
Chrissy is such a sweet and smart girl and would be a great fit for another doggo looking for a sister or a single dog house hold with someone that likes to stay active and be out and about.`
Hi human friends. Woof woof, I am Chrissy! I had pneumonia which kept me away from my volunteer friends for a few weeks while I recovered, but I am so happy to be back to seeing them every day! I am healthy, up to date on my shots, and finally ready to find my forever home!
I love walks! Will you take me on some? I get so excited when it’s time to go outside and explore the world. My volunteer friends describe me as, “sweet, easy and an excellent calm and loose leash walker.” I get along with other doggies, so if you want to add me to the family as a sister to your resident dog let’s set up a doggy meet and greet at AAC to make sure we get along! I can sit on command for a tasty treat, too!
I have this little floppy prance when I get really excited on walks or sniff something new. I am dreaming of all the adventures we will go on and memories we will make. I hope you will consider adding me to your family.

Our shelter has more than 500 available cats and dogs every day! For pets at the shelter: Adoptions must be completed in-person at the shelter. AAC is open for adoption walk-ins every day from 11 a.m. – 7 p.m. A shelter pet’s availability can change at any time, so we recommend choosing a few favorites.

Submitting an application does not hold the animal for you.
