Grande A18626137 lb. spayed female, approx 2 years old -She calmly explored the yard before approaching me for sniffs-After a couple quick pets she took off on a tear of tight, little spinning zoomies. Initially most it came from nerves, but over time she was more relaxed and playful.-The furrowed brow and the quick, jerky movements show she’s still trying to figure it all out. The unknown can be scary sometimes!-She is a little skinny and food is her love language!She started off wanting to jump up for treats but proves to be a quick learner and picked up “sit” in record time! With consistency and patience she will thrive as she just wants to please!-She showed no interest in toys and they actually seem to scare her. Poor thing is nervous to have fun!-Once she was sure I was a person to trust, she laid in my lap for belly rubs. Before the trust, she was submissive and would just flip on her back when unsure.-She’s still perfecting her leash manners as she is excited to see the world! She does do better with a harness.-This sweet thing is looking for patience and the freedom to move at her speed….not yours. If you provide that, she will in turn provide you a lifetime of love and loyalty!-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.
