About Decca
Decca had her start in rescue, born in care and adopted out as a puppy before an energetic streak proved too much for her first home’s senior dog. Now about two years old and still full of life, she lives with senior dogs and her mom in a foster home, showing she can adapt but likely prefers being the only dog or with one other confident canine friend after a careful introduction. Decca’s quick to learn—she’s already completed a board and train, knows her basics, and continues polishing her manners with her foster’s trainer. In the house, she’s housebroken and always up for a game of ball or any activity where she gets to work alongside her person. She shines when given structure and someone who enjoys training, and she’s truly happiest when kept busy. Decca can startle at quick movements and has displayed some resource guarding, so a home with older, respectful children suits her best, and ongoing support for her confidence and training will be important. She needs people who understand boundaries, patience, and are willing to give her the clear leadership she craves. With consistency and guidance, Decca will be a loyal and fulfilling companion ready to grow with you. Ready to meet your new best friend? Apply now!
