This pet needs emergency placement. Please click here to go to our emergency placement page for more information. Liv is at risk due to behavioral reasons. During intake, Liv was observed to escalate to thrashing, screaming, alligator rolling, and biting the leash. In kennel, when handlers would approach, Liv would begin to growl at them. In one instance while in the yard with a handler, Liv lunged towards them and attempted to bite them. This did not break skin due to Liv only getting the handler's pants. When returning to kennel, Liv is observed to balk, retreat from the handler, and begin head whipping. Over time while in care, Liv has warmed up to have and is receptive to coaxing and a slow approach. Medically, Liv has pyoderma. 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 Liv arrived at MACC as a stray with no known history. During intake, Liv was observed to escalate to thrashing, screaming, alligator rolling, and biting the leash. Over time Liv has begun to warm up to familiar handlers.
