Are You Thinking About Adopting Myrtle?
If you are interested in adopting Myrtle, spending time together during a visit may help you better understand (her/her) comfort level, personality, and activity during direct interaction.
Some dogs become energetic and playful during visits while others prefer calmer attention from the people spending time with them. Outdoor walks, toys, treats, enclosed play areas, and tennis balls may sometimes be part of the interaction depending on shelter conditions and the dog's personality.
People preparing for adoption often ask staff about adjustment periods after leaving the shelter and helping routines develop naturally over time.
People who are not ready for permanent adoption may also consider fostering Myrtle through a rescue partner connected with CACC.
