Lady ACCT-A-155594 is currently considered urgent and at risk of euthanasia due to length of stay and lack of space for incoming dogs. Lady must have confirmed placement with an ADOPTER, FOSTER, or RESCUE PARTNER by Saturday, February 17th by 10:00 am. Should Lady's medical or behavioral status change, her urgency and timeline for placement may also change.
Due to being significantly overcapacity with animals and higher than usual intake, extensions are unlikely to be granted. If you are interested in an animal please contact ACCT Philly immediately. Due to limited space, timestamps may also be proceeded with early so it is imperative to let us know if you are considering adopting or tagging an animal.

Meet Lady! This beautiful 4 year old girl who came to ACCT on January 11th after her owner could no longer keep her. She came in with another dog named Maxie, who is also still looking for a forever home. Since being in our care Lady has been friendly with staff and has been noted to be affectionate and a big fan of treats! She has done well in playgroup with other dogs and may do ok in a multi dog household. Lady has been so well behaved in our care, we can't believe she is still here! Lady has been here almost a month now and is still waiting for her perfect home.

Behavioral notes:

Per Volunteer 1/31:
Lady is such a fun... lady! I met her for the first time today and loved how playful she was. She liked chasing balls and met Ditman through the fence.

Per volunteer 1/28: Lady is the sweetest girl. She was easy to get out and super mellow in the play yard. Girlfriend loves to play fetch and tug of war and is very handler oriented! Lady initiated play with me several times and is super affectionate. She stood next to me watching people and dogs walk by just taking in the scene. This lady is ready for a glow up compete with bath and mani pedi and a warm quiet place to recover from her doggie cold. Any home would be lucky to have her!

1/23/24 volunteer notes: I took Lady for a short walk and she did pull a bit on the leash so a harness would probably work best for her. In the play yard she sniffed around and chased and retrieved the ball a few times. She knows sit and would take treats nicely. She jumped up to sit beside me and solicited pets and attention and gave some kisses. She allowed and enjoyed all over pets. She is a sweet pup who deserves a fresh start.

1/23/24 playgroup: Lady added to playgroup today. Neutral body at gate, came in and greeted two males. Tolerated humping but gave small correction (no teeth or growling, just a sudden turn around). Engaged in play with Helix, more rough and tumble. Corrections for humping appropriately .
