Story
Wylie A18668728 lb. spayed female, approx 1 year old -Beautiful little nugget! She’s the perfect mix of sweet snuggler and playful little spitfire. She can be a lap dog when she’s in the mood, but she also has plenty of puppy spunk and playful energy to share!-She is very food motivated, sort of knows “sit,” and takes treats nicely. She does get a little impatient waiting for her snacks and may creep closer or pop up for them—just some adorable puppy antics! 😆 She’s not currently interested in toys, but she absolutely enjoys attention and belly rubs.-She walks nicely on leash and wanted to stop and say hello to everyone we passed. She’s friendly, affectionate, fun, and just an all-around adorable little nugget! 💕-Will need some puppy training. Please keep that in mind if you want a puppy. They require time and patience to be the best that they can 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.

Story
Dagmar A18668637 lb. neutered male, approx 2 years old -This handsome boy walks nicely on leash and is an absolute lap dog! He’s sweet, gentle, and clearly thinks the best place to be is as close to you as possible. He loves cuddling, attention, and especially belly rubs. Once the pets start, he gets so excited that his little legs go flailing everywhere! 😂-He likes treats, takes them nicely, and is working on his sit. He’ll sit briefly, but then starts creeping closer with his little tippy taps or an occasional jump because he just wants to be right there with you. He’s not currently interested in toys—people are much more exciting!-He’s a little on the skinny side, but he’s absolutely adorable and has such a sweet, affectionate personality. His photo shoot was a bit of a challenge because sitting still was apparently far less important than scooting closer to his favorite person.-And that sad face? Don’t let it fool you…he is NOT sad! 😂 He’s just got a naturally serious little face.-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.
