Stormy A184047 39 lb. spayed female, approx 2 years old -This sweet girl may be a little timid at first, but it doesn't take long to see how much she wants to connect. New things--like doorways or unfamiliar spaces--can feel a bit overwhelming right now, but she looks to her person for reassurance and comfort. -Once outside, she made her feelings very clear by climbing right into my lap the moment I sat down. Being close to her people is where she feels safest, and she absolutely soaks up that quiet, gentle affection. -She's been through a lot and is still learning that she's safe. While she wasn't quite ready for a bath yet, she handled everything with patience and tolerance, even when she was unsure. With a little time and trust, she'll get there. -After settling in, she showed her softer side--exploring briefly before coming right back for more attention. When I laid down, she curled up beside me, then rolled over for belly rubs, completely melting into the moment. She'll even sneak in a soft kiss here and there. -She's food-motivated, already knows how to sit, and takes treats gently. She's not quite into toys yet, but that will likely come as she gains confidence. -Overall, she's a gentle, affectionate soul who just needs a patient, loving home to help her feel safe and blossom into the happy dog she's meant to be. -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.
