Tekka

My story

Tekka A17425144 lb. neutered male, approx 2 years old-Who has a soft spot for the scared babies?-This little guy is oh so very sweet…..there’s just one problem….he’s afraid to walk on a leash and needs to be carried sometimes.-We have been working with him each day. He’s learning to walk on leash while out in the play yard some. We’ve been just letting him drag the leash around. He’s getting the hang of it but will need lots of time and patience from his new foster or adopter!(EDIT-He walked all the way outside today, although it was slow going. He just needed encouragement and patience! I never carried him once and I am so PROUD!! Way to go buddy!)-Once the leash was off he enjoyed exploring the photo room-He also loves being close for pets and giving kisses-He’s treat motivated, sits occasionally and takes them nicely-Playful and loves balls! He’ll play with a stuffie here and there too.-He has an adorable pouty lip and looks a little like a monkey. He’s ADORABLE!-Seems non reactive to dogs nearby and may do well living with a fur sibling after slow and proper intros Unknown behavior with dogs/cats/kids•Meet all of our adoptable pets on our website friendsofdacc.org/adopt •Please keep in mind that the shelter can be a very stressful environment. •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. •There is a suggested donation of $100 for our dogs, payable by cash, check or through paypal at the time of the adoption. •To meet them please go to front door and a DACC staff member will assist you with adoption or fostering. **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.** •The shelter is open 7 days a week from 10:30-3:30 BUT our adoptions are done 7 days a week from 10:30am -3:00pm. •The last potential adopter must arrive before 3:00 pm so we have time to properly help you before closing. **1431 E Ferry St. Detroit
