Pecan's Story

Meet Pecan! She’s a little goofy, a little shy — and very proud of both!<br/><br/>Pecan is the sweetest, sniffiest little “nut” you’ll ever meet, equal parts gentle explorer and cozy couch companion. After arriving at the ASPCA Behavioral Rehabilitation Center as a fearful stray, she’s made incredible progress and has been thriving in a foster home while getting ready for adoption.<br/><br/>Pecan loves getting out to explore and is happiest on slow, sniffy walks where she can take in the world at her own pace. You’ll often find her wading in the water, following interesting smells and then heading home to curl up for a nap, especially if there’s a soft spot on the couch. In foster care, her silly side has really started to shine.<br/><br/>Pecan can be a bit shy in new situations, especially when people pass by close to her, but she settles nicely when given space to observe. With a little patience, a cheerful voice and some treats, she warms up quickly and enjoys gentle affection.<br/><br/>Pecan does well with other dogs and likes to play, but she prefers calm, respectful companions who won’t overwhelm her. She also does best with a little space around high-value items like food or bones.<br/><br/>Pecan is looking for a home that will let her move at her own pace and continue building confidence. In return, you’ll get a sweet, sensitive companion who loves the simple things and is truly a joy to spend time with.

ASPCA Behavioral Rehabilitation Center's Adoption Policy
When the BRC receives an adoption inquiry about a dog, a BRC Behavior Specialist reaches out via email to the potential adopter. They provide the dog’s Adoption Profile which explains a little more about the dog, and they also provide some general information about the BRC program, the population of dogs we serve, and what an adopter might expect if they bring home a graduate of our program. If the person pursues the adoption, the Behavior Specialist schedules a phone call to discuss the dog in more detail and to get more information about the adopter and their circumstances (home life, other pets, children, etc.). If, after the phone conversation, the potential adopter and our staff member both feel that the dog and adopter are a good match, an in-person meet and greet is scheduled for the adopter (and family if applicable) to meet the dog. BRC dogs can often go home right after the first meet and greet if the adopter is ready to take a dog home, but the BRC also welcomes potential adopters to go home and think it over or discuss with other members of the family, or even to set up additional meets with other family members or the family dogs, etc. Our adoption process is conversation based with the goal of making a successful match between the adopter(s) and a dog.
