Butterscotch

My story

This pet needs emergency placement. Please click here to go to our emergency placement page for more information.Butterscotch is at risk due to behavioral concerns. Butterscotch has displayed high levels of fear and has escalated to higher-level defensive behaviors (hard barking, growling, snapping) with handlers and staff. While she does well with a slow approach and reward-based interactions with select handlers, Butterscotch remains stressed and at times reluctant to leashing for walks or kennel cleaning. Medically, Butterscotch has wounds on his paw pads from being hit by a car. He was treated in an emergency clinic and in shelter. These wounds are now healing well. Butterscotch came to ACC as a stray, so we don't have much information about her. She has been responsive to a slow approach, and treat/reward based interactions. She continues to be highly stressed and fearful while in the shelter and needs to find a home where she can decompress and relax. Come meet this sweet pup today!
