Meet pop
Meet Pop 🎉(ACCT-A-245045)! This handsome fellow is looking for a loving new home. Pop came to us when his previous family was no longer able to keep him due to landlord issues, and he's hoping his next stop is with you!
Pop is described as playful and loving. He previously lived with kids of all ages. H enjoys being told he's a "good boy" and loves to play with toysâš½. He seems to know the "sit" command, which is a great start for learning even more!
Our volunteers have noted that Pop can be a little unsure when meeting new people, and can be a little jumpy. With patience and positive reinforcement, he's sure to blossom into a confident and affectionate companion. He showed nice loose body language meeting another dog through the fence, and after initial greetings, he was happy to move on.
Pop is full of energy and would thrive in a home that can provide him with plenty of exercise and playtime. Could you be the one to give Pop the loving and playful home he deserves? Come meet Pop today!💗
ACCT is open 10am-6pm every day!
Behavior Notes:
Per volunteer 3/13/2026:
Kennel presentation: He was at the front of his kennel with soft eyes and a slightly furrowed brow. When I presented the leashed he noticeably loosened up. I leashed him easily.
Leash Skills: He did not pull through the kennels. He pulled a bit when we got closer to the play yards and when we were headed back inside.
Sociability: He enjoys pepperoni! He was a bit jumpy when the pepperoni was out. He seems to know "sit." When I went to pet him he would flinch so I did not try petting him all over.
Play & Toys: I tossed some toys around and he had no reaction.
Dog interaction (must be on video if meeting face-to-face): He met a dog through the fence and remained loose with mid-level tail wags. After a few seconds he walked away on his own.
Returning to kennel: No issues going in.
Color level: Gold
03/12/2026:
Intake nurses reported, light snapping and weary behavior when trying to check in dog. They were able to complete the check in but reported some whale eyeing as well.
