My name is Almond!

Meet Almond!

Almond is a 3-year-old large mixed breed who was found as a stray in the Bronx and has since spent time in a foster home. This affectionate and playful girl is eager to find her forever home where she can be loved and cherished.

My Ideal Home
Almond would thrive in a home that provides both structure and activity. She has an energetic personality and would benefit from regular exercise, training, and positive reinforcement. She is best suited for an adult-only home or a home with older children who can respect her space and help reinforce good manners.

Good with Kids?
Almond would do best in a home without young children due to her excitable nature and tendency to jump up in a social manner. Older kids who understand dog behavior may be a better fit.

Good with Other Dogs?
Almond has had mixed reactions to other dogs-sometimes greeting them with a loose, wiggly body and other times barking and jumping at the fence. She would need slow, positive introductions if placed in a home with another dog.

Good with Cats?
Unknown-she has not been tested with cats.

Leash Manners
Almond is strong on the leash and can be reactive toward dogs and small animals while walking. A front-clip harness and reward-based training will help manage this behavior.

Overall Health
She has no ongoing medical concerns, though she is slightly overweight and would benefit from a balanced diet and exercise.

Behavior Determination
Level 3 (Experienced Adopters Recommended) - Almond is a sweet and affectionate dog who loves attention but needs continued training for her manners, anxiety, and leash reactivity. She thrives with positive reinforcement and would do best in a structured environment.

Fun Fact
Almond has a reputation for being a "kissing machine"! If you're not careful, you'll get an unexpected smooch attack from this affectionate girl.
