Let's get to know each other a bit more...
This animal needs emergency placement. Please click here to go to our emergency placement page for more information. Due to the need for extensive behavior modification, this animal is only available for foster/adoption through one of ACC's New Hope Partners. Please read the below information thoroughly about this dog and if you are interested in fostering or adopting, please fill out the pre-screener form. This animal is not directly available for adoption through ACC and is only available by completing the pre-screener form. Adoption inquiries sent directly to ACC will not receive a response. Pre-Screener Form Gabe is on emergency placement for behavioral reasons. He has been highly fearful in the care center and has not completely opened up to appearing social or allowing handling. Medically, Gabe has CIRDC. Since Gabe arrived at the care center, he has been uncomfortable with most handling. He will allow handlers to leash him and remove him from the kennel. However, he will flinch when the leash is clipped and on one occasion, quickly turn toward the handler when her leg is brushed up against his. Gabe came to ACC as a stray with another dog so we know nothing of his behavior in a home which is why we recommend he go to an experienced, adult-only home that will give Gabe the space and time needed to decompress.

BEHAVIOR DETERMINATION:: New Hope Only
Recommendations:: No children (under 13),Place with a New Hope partner
Recommendations comments:: No children: Due to Gabe's high level of fear, we recommend a home with no children. Due to all noted concerns, the behavior department recommends Gabe be placed with a New Hope placement partner who is able to provide an experienced, adult-only foster home. A period of decompression is recommended to allow him to acclimate comfortably to his new environment. Force-free, reward based training is advised when introducing Gabe to new and unfamiliar situations. Consultation with a professional trainer/behaviorist is highly recommended for guidance to safely manage/modify any behavior he presents with outside of the care centers.
