Available NY,NJ,CT,PA,DC,MD,DE,NH,RI,LI,MA,VT,ME JC IS JUST A YEAR OLD ��%BD%9D%A4 He's waiting for a calm, loving and experienced family to come snatch him up. He's ready for his happy ever after. A volunteer writes: JC is the ultimate sweetie-bo-beetie. He is a soft young boy, who deserves all the good things in the world - a giant soft bed, a family who loves him, and maybe some chicken nugs. JC's former family had taken him from a situation where he was abused by men. He can be wary of men as a result, and is generally a fearful boy. The family who saved him tried their best but could not afford his care. JC has been nervous in the busy shelter, but slowly and surely he has started to enjoy his walks, wiggling and sniffing, and if you are super lucky, he will lean against you for pets. His favorite hobbies are chewing and running, and this smarty pants is bilingual - he knows Spanish and English. When I meet JC, he doesn't show his fearful side at all. He is all about hanging out, getting some pets, and appreciating his time outside his kennel. JC would do best in a quiet home where he can decompress and have his space when he is feeling scared.

When vet service staff was walking from CC desk outside to assist other employees, he barked and lunged towards VS staff member, who was nowhere near JC. JC continued to bark at VS staff member through the lobby glass. When staff approached he was unsure of staff member and would come towards staff to sniff them, however when staff moved he would jump back, huff, wag his tail, and come back to sniff staff. His owners had to place a lead on them, and he was then taken to medical. My health has been checked. My vaccinations are up to date. My worming is up to date. I have been microchipped. *A Little Bit About Me* What my friends at ACC say about me: I would do best in a home with only adult humans. I prefer to call the shots and enjoy coming to you when I'm ready for pets. I would appreciate slow introductions to new people and places to help me feel safe. I really enjoy toys! I'll let you know my favorite one when we meet! I love to be loved, but on my own terms! Let's brush up on some canine body language together! I don't always like to share my food, toys or bedding with other animals.
