Octavia

My story

This pet needs emergency placement. Please click here to go to our emergency placement page for more information.Octavia is at risk for behavior concerns due to a consistent pattern of reactivity toward other dogs, including hard barking, growling, lunging, and charging at her crate or kennel door when dogs pass by. She has shown significant difficulty managing visual stimuli, often removing or destroying crate covers intended to reduce her stress. She has also exhibited barrier reactivity toward dogs housed near her, tracking their movements. Octavia can be easily leashed by handlers and staff, engages during interactions with toys, petting, and enjoys treats. Medically, apparently healthy.What my friends at ACC say about me:I would do best in a home without very tiny humans, although I could be open to older human children once I meet them.I am excitable and energetic! I will need positive outlets for my energy!I'm ready to learn! I need a patient person who has the time to work on training with me.I love getting pets and - you guessed it - snuggles!I would prefer someone who can be home with me most of the time.Please check here for updated adoption hours.
