Meet Yung Gravy! This stocky boy was found and brought to the shelter on 1/31. He was shy and timid, but very friendly while in our care. He was taken in by a foster on 2/10 while he had a upper respiratory infection; he is now doing better and is showing how sweet he is in his fosterhome!
Per Foster 3/29/23:
Gravy is doing well. When Gravy first came to my home he was very timid and flinched when I went in for pets. He has come out of his shell a lot. He has a naturally grumpy looking face but his tail is always wagging. He loves strangers and allows them to pet him. He's met a few dogs in our area and he does very well with those encounters. He is fully house trained and can be trusted to be left home alone as he does not tear up anything. He is not a toy type of guy but he loves treats. He knows sit and stay. While he has opened up A LOT, he still likes his space (kind of). He likes to be around but not necessarily touching, for example, he whines to get in the bed with me but then goes to the other side furthest away. He's content with just being close enough. He loves walks and starts the tippy taps when he sees me grab his leash. Overall, Gravy is a gentle young man who needs time and space to warm up but would be a great fit in any home.
Day Trip Notes 2/5/23:
I just wanted to let you know that Yung Gravy was great! He walked so well on his leash and appears to be completely house trained. He definitely loves long walks, but was happy to hang out at our apartment with us. He didn't jump up at all and just wanted to follow us around and lay down near us. He's such a sweet pup!

If you are a rescue interested in pulling this animal, please email our lifesaving team, or visit here if you are not currently a rescue partner: https://acctphilly.org/acct-philly-love-local-partnership-program/
Due to being significantly overcapacity with dogs and cats 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 a dog or cat.
Confirmed placement is considered confirmation of an actual rescue pull. Possible placement, interested parties, and other "TBD" statuses are not considered confirmed and do not indicate an animal is no longer urgent
All animals at ACCT Philly are from Philadelphia, as the only open intake animal shelter in Philadelphia, we are not able to accept animals from outside of Philadelphia. ACCT Philly's Pennsylvania kennel license number is 08313
