My story

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

Maitake A170806
48 lb. spayed female, approx 1 year old

-She’s a timid gal and most things seem like she’s experiencing them for the first time. Like belly rubs! She tenses up at first and then slightly relaxes. Then jumps up on your shoulders for hugs and lathers you in kisses. She’s trying so hard!
-She wants so badly to be receiving affection but doesn’t seem to have had many experiences with it before now
-She loves to sit as close to you as possible
-Likes treats, sits and takes them gently
-Started to engage in play with a stuffie
-Walks well on a leash
-Needs time and patience and ideally a low traffic home to start to open up and trust!
-Seems non reactive to dogs nearby and may do well living with a fur sibling after slow and proper intros

Unknown behavior with dogs/cats/kids

•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.
