Story
Dottie A18740532 lb. spayed female, approx 3 years old -She starts off a little nervous, but give her a few minutes to explore and she quickly warms up and lets her sweet personality shine. Once she got comfortable, the zoomies came out! She had so much fun running around, and the best part was that every zoomie session ended with her coming right back to snuggle up.-She’s very treat motivated and picked up “sit” quickly. She takes treats very gently and seems like she’ll be a fun little student for someone willing to continue working with her. She showed some brief interest in toys but wasn’t quite sure what to do with them yet, and squeaky toys were a little scary for her.-She does pull on the leash, but she’s not very strong, so with a little practice and guidance, this is something she should be able to fine-tune. She’s a sweet girl who just needs a little time to feel comfortable and someone to help her continue building confidence and learning the ropes.-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, 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
