About Eristotle

Eristotle A183784 48 lb. neutered male, approx 2 years old -This sweet, gentle boy is timid and unsure. He will need someone to go at his pace and be patient! -Inside he cautiously explored everything -The poor guy flinches and ducks occasionally with movements around his head 😞 -Once he was comfortable and trusted me, he wanted to be sitting right next to me. If I stopped petting him he would scoot in a little closer. I laid on the floor and he came and laid next to me. -He enjoys pets but never fully relaxed. He is already getting much better with time though! -He likes treats, sits and takes them very gently. He doesn't seem super food motivated though. -He is curious of toys but isn't quite sure what to do with them yet it seems -As more time went on he even gave a few kisses -He walks slow and steady on a leash and won't pull you all over the place -Good boy who just deserves a little bit of time and patience! -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. Staff will go over how to slowly and properly introduce them after a decompression period.** *The shelter is open 7 days a week from 10:30-5:30 **1431 E Ferry St. Detroit
