Woodland's Story

Woodland A187223<br/>45 lb. spayed female, approx 1 year old <br/><br/>-This sweet girl may need a little time to warm up, but once she does, you get to see just how special she is. She walks beautifully on leash without pulling and has the cutest little happy, wiggly waddle as she goes!<br/><br/>-After a quick exploration of the yard, she came over to me for some attention. She's a little unsure about touch at first, but the more time we spent together, the more comfortable she became. A few times when I reached toward her belly or back end, she froze for just a moment, but she always recovered quickly and came right back to me. She really wanted to connect; she just needed a little reassurance along the way.<br/><br/>-She's very food motivated, which is a great way to win her heart. She already knows how to sit--often without even being asked--and takes treats incredibly gently.<br/><br/>-She wasn't interested in toys today, but inside, with some time and patience, she made a huge breakthrough. She eventually settled between my legs, completely relaxed, and flipped over for belly rubs. It was the first time I saw her truly let her guard down. And then came the kisses! <br/><br/>-She's a gentle girl who just needs someone willing to give her the time and patience to feel safe. Once she knows she can trust you, she'll show you what a sweet, affectionate girl she really is.<br/><br/>-Seems non reactive to dogs nearby and may do well living with a fur sibling after slow and proper intros <br/><br/>Unknown behavior with dogs/cats/kids<br/><br/>*Meet all of our adoptable pets on our website friendsofdacc.org/adopt <br/><br/>*Please keep in mind that the shelter can be a very stressful environment. <br/><br/>*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. <br/><br/>*There is a suggested donation of $100 for our dogs, payable by cash, check or through paypal at the time of the adoption. <br/><br/>*To meet them please go to front door and a DACC staff member will assist you with adoption or fostering. <br/><br/>**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.** <br/><br/>*The shelter is open 7 days a week from 10:30-5:30, except for Wednesday when we open at 11:30<br/><br/>**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. <br/><br/>**1431 E Ferry St. Detroit
