Meet Adam!

Adam made his way to Animal Friends through our Humane Investigations Team after being found abandoned and shivering in a dilapidated house. Adam is a sweet, affectionate boy who loves to be petted and receive back scratches. He loves to exercise–including going on walks and sniffing everything outside. Adam is a guarder when it comes to his food. We are working with him on this, and he is making a lot of progress! He needs a family who will continue to work with him, using only positive reinforcement training, so that he can be his best self. Adam can potentially live with another dog but cannot live with cats. Adam is also looking for a home with adults only. Look at that sweet, goofy face! Come ask our adoption counselors about Adam.

Adam is one of Aurora’s “Special Canines”, meaning that his requested adoption donation has been underwritten and his new family will receive a starter kit of supplies and other support based on his unique needs. This special package is made possible by Aurora’s “Special Canines Fund” established in honor of a spunky little dog named Aurora to ensure that dogs in our care who are struggling to find a suitable home due to their age, or unique medical or behavior needs are given that extra support.
