Pinecone's Story

Meet Pinecone, a certified soft boy and partâ€‘time explorer! He came to the ASPCA Behavioral Rehabilitation Center from a home with many other dogs. When he arrived, he was extremely fearful and unsure about the world. With time, patience and the support of our program, he has made remarkable progress. As a graduate of the BRC, his confidence continues to grow, and he is starting to enjoy more of life’s simple comforts. Pinecone loves going out for walks where he can sniff and take things in at his own pace. When he is feeling brave, he will break into a few joyful zoomies that show just how far he has come. Once Pinecone feels comfortable with someone, he becomes affectionate and sweet, scooting closer for gentle chest and neck pets and giving a little paw tap when he hopes for more attention. Meeting new people can feel overwhelming for him, so calm introductions work best. A quiet walk, some tasty treats, and relaxed time together help him show his softer side. With other dogs, Pinecone’s style is polite and lowkey. He’s comfortable around mellow companions and enjoys friendly, calm interactions without too much roughhousing. Pinecone is ready for his next chapter! He is looking for a patient, understanding home that sees how far he’s come and will help him continue to blossom.

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.
