My story

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

Avalanche A170957
49 lb. neutered male, approx 1 1/2 years old

-Just a big puppy
-He’s active and playful but not sure what to do with toys at the moment
-He’s treated motivated, “sits” and takes them nicely. -He’s soft and squishy
-Enjoys being close for pets and gives some kisses
-Wants to basically run while out for walks. He may make a good jogging partner!
-He’s a happy boy who loves life!
-An active family is recommended
-Big, friendly dope ☺️
-Will need some training. Please keep that in mind if you are interested in this handsome fella!
-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.
