Lodi was living in a busy environment and escalated to biting several times. None of the bites broke the skin. At times, she was in possession of a high value item when she has escalated to biting. She has been highly fearful in care. Medically, she is currently in heat but otherwise a healthy dog. This pet is available only through ACC New Hope partners. To adopt or foster, please complete the pre-screener form below. Inquiries sent directly to ACC will not receive a response. Pre-Screener Form Lodi is a very fearful dog who will need a patient, understanding, and experienced New Hope Rescue Partner. She was previously living in a busy environment and has escalated to biting in the past. None of the bites have broken the skin, and the behavior may be related to fear and/or resource guarding. Lodi will benefit from a calm, low-stress environment, consistent management, and a partner experienced in working with fearful dogs and safely addressing potential guarding behaviors. Her placement should prioritize safety, allowing her time and space to decompress and build trust at her own pace.
