This pet needs emergency placement. Please click here to go to our emergency placement page for more information. Leopard is at risk due to behavior concerns. Leopard has demonstrated high arousal, hard pulling, and fixation toward dogs and birds, at times requiring staff to continuously muscle him away from dogs or small mammals. Leopard is social with handlers, allows petting, and has engaged in training. Medically, Leopard has mild to moderate dental disease, a Broken upper canine, a recovered injury on his ear. Due to Leopard having bite wounds upon intake, he is on a 6-month quarantine as per DOH and would need to follow specific guidelines in a home environment. Leopard arrived at MACC as a stray with no known history. While in care, Leopard has been observed to be highly fearful. Noted to be tense and fearful in kennel when handlers approach. He is reluctant to exit kennel and flinches when the handler attempts to place a leash on him. Due to the detailed behavior we recommend an experienced adult only home Hi there! My name is Leopard! I arrived as a stray so the staff don't know what my life was like before coming to ACC, but I had various injuries that I'm recovering from really well. I only require a little extra paperwork to be filled out and a few extra vet visits this year because one of my injuries was likely a bite wound. I'm thankful for everyone at ACC taking such good care of me, but I think I'd like to find my forever home now. So what are you waiting for? Ask about me today!
