sully

Sully ACCT-A-247472 is a playful, affectionate young guy who came to ACCT Philly as a stray on April 12th. He is social and enthusiastic from the moment you meet him. He greets people with soft eyes and a wagging tail, and once he's comfortable, he leans his whole body into you and practically melts. Staff have noted he allows all handling, including leash readjustment, with ease — and pulls minimally on leash too. In playgroup, he showed loose, wiggly energy and play bows with another dog. After zooming around the yard, he got humpy with another dog and didn’t take their corrections.

Silly is looking for a rescue, foster, or adopter that can match his playful spirit and provide him with all the belly rubs and affection he craves. If you’re looking for a wiggly, happy, and super-cuddly companion to brighten up your life, Sully is the one for you!
