My story

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

Hi, Iandamp;#39;m Acorn! Iandamp;#39;ve got a big personality just waiting to shine through when I meet you.andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;I was rescued by animal control after roaming the streets for a long, long time... When I first arrived, boy was it scary here. I wasnandamp;#39;t sure who I could trust, if I was going to be fed, or how this whole shelter life thing was going to work out. But Iandamp;#39;ve made a lot of new friends, and realized that I can show these awesome people my silly goober side! I love my walks, getting the zoomies, and getting hugs and pets from my circle. I will admit, my group of besties is small right now, and it will take time for me trust you. But with love and patience, I think weandamp;#39;ll be buddies in no time.andlt;br/andgt;andlt;br/andgt;What would my ideal home be like? Iandamp;#39;m happy you asked! I get along with other dogs at the shelter pretty well, so I sure wouldnandamp;#39;t mind a canine companion. Letandamp;#39;s just make sure I meet them first, so weandamp;#39;re 100% sure itandamp;#39;s a perfect fit. The only thing that I really NEED, is a home of adults. My life on the streets was tough, and loud kiddos are sure to make me nervous. What do you say? Think you can kick it with me? The most magnificent pup in the whole shelter? Stop by today and ask about Acorn!
