Meet Pecan! She is a little goofy, a little shy and very proud of both!
Pecan is the kind of dog who reminds you that trust is built, not rushed. She came to the ASPCA Behavioral Rehabilitation Center as a fearful stray and worked hard to be the resilient graduate she is now! She loves being outside, following her nose and taking her time exploring. Long, sniffy walks, wandering around the fenced-in yard and wading through water are some of her favorite ways to spend the day. Once she’s had her fill, she’s happy to settle in nearby and relax.
Pecan spent some time in a foster home, where her playful side came out quickly. She jumped into play with the resident dogs and loved to run and chase until everyone was tired. She spent time around cats as well — she was respectful of their space when they wanted it and solicited play when they were ready to play.
Pecan may take a minute to feel comfortable with new people and can be unsure when someone approaches too quickly. When she’s given a little space, she chooses to come closer on her own. She has already shown us how much she enjoys affection, coming over for pets, leaning in for attention and happily sticking around once she feels safe. She also loves being brushed and will wander over to join when she sees other dogs getting attention.
Pecan is looking for a home that will let her move at her own pace and continue building her confidence. In return, you’ll get a sweet, sensitive dog who loves to explore, enjoys other dogs and forms meaningful connections with her people.
