Acai is a small-breed adolescent dog who's still finding his footing after a rough start to life. He's nervous about being touched but is beginning to show curiosity around people. If you have the patience to sit quietly, toss some treats, and wait, you might be rewarded by Acai leaving his bed and taking a few brave steps forward to sniff your hand.

While he's not ready for direct handling yet, Acai is making steady progress and will benefit from a calm, patient home where he can continue to build trust at his own pace. Acai would do best in a quiet environment with adopters who understand that confidence doesn't come overnight. If you're looking to support a shy but curious dog as he continues to come out of his shell, Acai could be a great match.

Note that many dogs do not reach full size until they are about a year and a half old. The weight listed here is the dog's current weight.
