Mints

My story

This pet needs emergency placement. Please click here to go to our emergency placement page for more information.Mints is on the at-risk list due to behavior concerns. Mints is not acclimating well to the care center environment despite best efforts to keep him comfortable. Mints in the care center will at times be reluctant to walk, pancaking, thrashing and trying to back out of his leash making it difficult to walk him. Mints is social with staff, but struggling to acclimate. Medically, Mints is apparently healthy.What my friends at ACC say about me:My history is a mystery and my friends here do not know much about me yet!It is unknown if I have ever lived with other animals or children.I would do best in a home with only adult humans.I am looking for a home with a patient person.A volunteer writes: When I meet Mints, he's wary of me. Already in the yard with another volunteer, he's unsure what to make of my tardy arrival. He decides to bury himself in her arms, and peek out at me from that safe space. I'm overcome with love for this timid boy - if our places were switched, I think I'd be just like him. Overwhelmed, confused, and unsure of everyone around me. And while I get to leave, Mints has to stay. He slowly becomes brave enough to emerge from his safe spot, takes a few bites of a snack, and even chases a few toys. I'm very proud of him, and I also know the shelter will continue to be a struggle for him. Like all our dogs, Mints should be back in a home to decompress and blossom to his full potential.If you think you can support him on that journey, please come meet him at Queens ACC Primary Color: Gray Weight: 56 Age: 4yrs 2mths 0wks
