My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

This pet needs emergency placement. Please click here to go to our emergency placement page for more information.



Nintendo is at risk due to behavioral concerns. Nintendo has been increasingly displaying on-leash reactivity as his length of stay increases. initially he would only bark, and would recover with coaxing of treats and toys. Currently, Nintendo is lunging and hard barking at dogs persistently which has made him challenging to walk at times due to his intensity and persistence. In addition to this, Nintendo is beginning to show signs of leash biting when off-leash in the play yard but can be traded with high-value treats from a second handler. Nintendo is treat motivated, which helps him in engaging loose leash walking training. Medically, is apparently healthy.

What my friends at ACC say about me:


It is unknown if I have ever lived with other animals or children.


My history is a mystery and my friends here do not know much about me yet!


I would do best in a home with only adult humans.


I don't always like to share my food, toys or bedding with other animals.


I will flourish in a calm environment and a low-traffic home.
