Appa's Story

Appa is a sweet and affectionate boy with a cheerful, happy-go-lucky personality! He is about 7.5 years old, thrives on human interaction, and is always eager to offer affection and companionship. He is a great mix of energetic and relaxed, happy to go on a long walk and then cuddle up with you in the sunshine. He is very easy going, and looking for a loving family to spend his life with! <br/><br/>While he will need to be adopted by someone who is able to provide consistent training, but he is eager to learn and highly food motivated, which makes training and building a bond with him both enjoyable and rewarding! Sadly, he was previously adopted but returned due to a biting incident related to resource guarding. However, he responds well to redirection and distraction, so this behavior has been easily manageable since his return to the shelter. Due to his history, Appa would be best suited to a home with an experienced dog owner—someone who understands canine behavior and can provide consistent guidance. In the right home, Appa would be the perfect match for someone seeking a loyal and loving companion. <br/><br/>If you're ready to meet this handsome boy, please submit an application on our website or using the link below:<br/><br/>https://service.sheltermanager.com/asmservice?account=zz0751&method=online_form_html&formid=13 <br/><br/>**We only adopt to states in New England and the Tri-State Area at this time**
