To adopt or foster, please complete the pre-screener form below. Inquiries sent directly to ACC will not receive a response. Pre-Screener Form Prada is at risk due to behavior concerns. Prada has shown high kennel stress and deterioration during his time at the Care Center, including jumping and barking in his kennel, and biting at his water bowl, leading to injuries to his mouth and paws. Prada also engages in kennel fighting, which has resulted to a redirect onto a handler's leg that did not break skin. He has shown conflicted behavior when handled, approaching the handler with a loose body when coaxed and seeking proximity, but then tensing and chuffing. Medically, Prada is largely healthy but has recently been treated for wounds on his feet. Prada was surrendered to Care by his previous owner due to housing issues. His previous family described him as a social, affectionate, playful, and very active dog. He preferred to spend most of his time wherever his family was in the home, enjoyed bath time/water, loved car rides, walks in the park, and playing with toys. He was fed a dry kibble diet of Blue Buffalo. During his stay in care, Prada has shown conflicted behaviors when interacting with handlers. He has hard work, ground, and huffed at handlers when attempting to conduct his handling assessment. After being given treats and spoken to softly, he becomes Wiggly and will approach handlers, but when attempting to engage, he immediately retreats and begins huffing again. When attempting to start his handling assessment, he begins huffing in the Assessor's face after they attempt to create distance. Due to these concerns, we recommend for product be placed in an adult-only home through a New Hope Rescue partner that can allow him the time and space to decompress at his own pace.
