Acacia (pronounced uh-kay-shah) 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 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 looking for her forever family to melt into.
Acacia 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. Two-year-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 and 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.
