What Dog A5171214 needs

A rescue partner must pull him by September 17. He needs a foster with experience reading fear in dogs, space to decompress, and time to find out who he is when he feels safe. This is not a beginner's dog and we will not pretend otherwise.

Everything here comes from Dog A5171214’s Maricopa County Animal Care and Control record. We leave out the parts that belong between the shelter, the rescue and the vet, and we do not soften what a dog needs. If something changes at the shelter, this page changes with it.
