Plutarch A18884045 lb. neutered male, approx 1 year old -He’s a little timid and was nervous navigating the hallways on leash. The loud traffic around the corner and the wind had him feeling a bit uneasy, but he was quick to seek out some reassurance, immediately hopping up on the bench to be next to me for pets. Treats were a great way to win him over! He’s very food motivated, and once I started offering them, he began to relax and even gave me some tail wags. He’ll occasionally offer a sit, although I’m not sure he quite understands the cue yet. He also started showing a little playful side with a couple of small zoomies.-Once inside, I sat on the floor and he came right over for attention, eventually flipping onto his back for belly rubs. He’s a wiggly, excitable little guy who gives lots of kisses! He can be unsure of new things, though. When I brought my phone closer to take a video, he was initially curious but quickly became nervous and backed away. When I tried again later, he moved to the other side of the room. He didn’t show any interest in toys, but he’s clearly trying his best to navigate a world that can feel a little overwhelming. He wants to be close, make friends, and connect with you. He’ll just need a little patience, reassurance, and time to build his confidence. -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.
