Are you familiar with Acacia? Pronounced uh-kay-shah, Acacia is a tree that grows in the harsh savannahs of Africa and has become a representation of resilience due to its hardy nature in harsh conditions. Our dear Acacia is a lot like her namesake.
With a brindle coat like sun dappled dry grasses under an acacia tree, Acacia came to us through our cruelty department and has shown us that having a rough start to life hasn't made her as harsh as the desert. She's sweet like ice cream at the end of a hot day and is currently looking for her forever family to melt into. And that family having children or other dogs will only help her warm up faster! Acacia, though resilient as the tree, is not as solitary. She is not one for standing as a lone sentinel in expansive grasslands. She prefers the comfort of the forest and to be surrounded by her family. Being only two-years-old, Acacia hasn't learned yet what it means to have a dedicated family that's going to come back to her at the end of the day. Every day. And she'll need a family with the patience to teach her that and help her develop the confidence to be left by herself until her family returns.
She is a very sweet & happy girl with lots of energy. She was a top student in our shelter training class; she loves to learn and train. She also loves toys and other dogs. We think she would make a wonderful companion in an adult home.
