Story
Sassy A14549477 lb. spayed female, approx 5 years old -This sweet, cuddly girl has a little extra love to give and absolutely loves being close to her people! She’ll happily sit right beside you soaking up pets and attention, and if you find just the right spot, you may get to see her adorable little leg going as she enjoys the scratches. -She’s very food motivated, knows how to sit, and takes treats nicely. She showed a little interest in some stuffies and briefly played with them, so I think we’ll see even more of her playful side once she’s comfortable and settled into a home. She’s still adjusting to the shelter environment and was a little too stressed to fully relax during our time together, but she was very sweet and people-oriented throughout.-She’s got plenty of enthusiasm on leash and will benefit from someone who can help her channel that excitement. Overall, she’s a lovable, affectionate girl who seems ready to blossom once she has a comfortable place to call home.-Seems non reactive to dogs nearby and may do well living with a fur sibling after slow and proper introsUnknown 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, except for Wednesday when we open at 11:30**We ask that if you’re looking to adopt, you arrive before 5:00 to be able to have enough time to meet the dog. **1431 E Ferry St. Detroit

Story
We are looking for a loving new home for our sweet girl, Sky. She can be a little shy at first, but once she warms up, she is an absolute sweetheart. She’s gentle, loving, and wonderful with kids. She is spayed and up to date on all of her vaccines. This isn’t an easy decision for us, so finding the right home is very important. We’d love for her to go to someone who will give her lots of love, patience, and a forever home.

Story
This is Hope. She is about 3 years old. I adopted her when she was 4 months old with the plans to train her as a search and rescue K9. Things started great and she was doing very well with training. Unfortunately, life and work demands took priority over training and I was unable to give her the time and training that she deserves. I am heartbroken to make the decision of rehoming her, but I feel like she deserves more than I can give her at this time. She NEEDS a job to do, or just be able to go on hikes or walks every day. She is a very sweet, smart, and active girl that deserves to live the best years of her life with someone that can give her just that.
