Metro A18747347 lb. neutered male, approx 3 years old -This sweet boy may take a little time to warm up, but once he feels safe, his gentle and affectionate side starts to shine. He spent a little time exploring the yard before coming over to say hello. After a few pets, he moved in closer and happily accepted treats, taking them incredibly gently. He even sits nicely for them!-He seemed to really want some attention, but at first he wasn’t quite sure how to relax. After some patience and a little time together, he finally settled between my legs. Then came the sweetest transformation—he completely let his guard down, slumped down and stretched himself across me, offering up his belly for rubs. He followed it with the biggest sigh, like he finally realized he was safe. 🥹 He even snuck in a couple little kisses.-He’s still figuring out toys, but he already knows how wonderful it feels to be close to someone. He walks nicely with minimal pulling and will do best with someone who is willing to go slow, give him time, and let his confidence grow at his own pace. He has a very sweet boy hiding behind those initial nerves, and I think once he knows he’s home, he’s going to be a wonderful companion. -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.
