My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Harissa A180517
45 lb. spayed female, approx 2 years old

-She can start off a little nervous and needs time to warm up
-She finds comfort being close for pets but needs time to fully relax
-She absolutely loves to sniff and explore. Scent work and food puzzles would probably keep her entertained for a while.
-She gives lots of kisses
-She will sit for treats and takes them gently before spitting them out. I didn’t have any that she would eat. 🤷‍♀️ She also knows “lay down”.
-She seems to have a very playful side to her just waiting to come out. She’s not playing yet but she was very receptive to me pouncing and doing play bows at her. I feel like once she comes out of her shell she is going to be super energetic and playful.
-She walks nicely on leash with very minimal pulling if any
-Seems non reactive to dogs nearby and may do well living with a fur sibling after slow and proper intros

•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
