Description

Meet Acorn Acorn is a house-trained, calm, affectionate boy looking for the right home to call his own. He’s friendly and loving with people he knows, gets along well with other dogs and children, and walks nicely on a leash—even ignoring deer along the trail. He’s highly intelligent, eager to please, and already knows commands like “sit” and “drop,” while continuing to work on “stay.” His favorite thing? Belly rubs and spending time with his people.Acorn was recently returned from adoption after becoming protective of the home when a stranger entered unexpectedly. Like many dogs, he needs time to build trust, adjust to a new environment, and learn a routine. Outside of the home, he has done well with people and other animals, and his foster described him as a truly great dog.Acorn would thrive with an adopter who can give him patience, structure, and guidance while he settles in. Once he feels safe and comfortable, he is an incredibly loyal and loving companion who bonds deeply with his family. Come meet Acorn—your new best friend could be waiting.
