My story

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

Argos A169934
54 lb. neutered male, approx 3 years old

-Argos is looking for a nurturing family to adopt or foster him
-He has had a rough go of it before he got here
-Notes from his intake say he was being attacked by loose dogs. Poor guy. He doesn’t hold it against anybody! He’s the sweetest!
-He has a pretty bad cut on his ear, and a swollen leg that is being treated. -Everything should heal in time
-He enjoys being close for pets
-Gives a few kisses
-Thinks he’s a lapdog and we agree he should be too!
-Absolutely love snacks! He’s still working on taking them gently and needs a few reminders
-Walks pretty decent on a leash
-He’s living in the vet area and co mingling with the other “vet pets” and gets along great with all of them. So despite the trauma he has endured, he hasn’t let it affect his spirit.
-He needs someone to adopt him or foster him to spoil and pamper him
-Seems non reactive to dogs nearby and may do well living with a fur sibling after slow and proper intros

•Meet all of our adoptable pets on our website friendsofdacc.org/adopt

•Please keep in mind that the shelter can be a very stressful environment.

•Studies show that a minimum of 3 days decompression drastically lower stress hormones and allow the dog to show more personality after they have settled in.

•There is a suggested donation of $100 for our dogs, payable by cash, check or through paypal at the time of the adoption.

•To meet them please go to front door and a DACC staff member will assist you with adoption or fostering.

**And when coming to meet one of our dogs, please bring all the humans with you, but leave any current dogs at home. Staff will go over how to slowly and properly introduce them after a decompression period.**

•The shelter is open 7 days a week from 10:30-3:30 BUT our adoptions are done 7 days a week from 10:30am -3:00pm.

•The last potential adopter must arrive before 3:00 pm so we have time to properly help you before closing.
