Olivia ACCT-A-238851 is currently considered urgent and at risk of euthanasia due to length of stay and lack of space for incoming dogs. Olivia must have confirmed placement with an ADOPTER or RESCUE PARTNER by SATURDAY, DECEMBER 27TH by 10:00 am. Should Olivia’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 Olivia, a sweet and friendly girl who was brought to ACCT Philly after officers found her running loose. With no known owner information, this young girl has found herself navigating shelter life with lots of energy and curiosity about the world around her.
Olivia is a fun, high-energy pup with a playful and affectionate personality. She is easy to leash, enjoys getting outside, and loves engaging with her people through play, treats, and affection. Volunteers and staff report that she is very social, allows all handling, leans into pets, and takes treats gently. She especially enjoys toys like stuffies and rope toys and has shown that she can trade toys politely for snacks. Olivia is still working on her leash manners and can be enthusiastic on walks, but she is responsive and eager to engage. In playgroup settings, Olivia has shown both positive and challenging interactions with other dogs. She can enjoy rough-and-rowdy play but may need thoughtful introductions and management to help her succeed with canine companions.
If you are looking for a girl who loves to play, learn, and love, then stop on by and meet Olivia!

On 12/14 per volunteer: I had no issues leashing Olivia and taking her out of her kennel. Once she got outside, she went to the bathroom a few times. While we walked, Olivia would routinely jump up and bounce off of me in a playful manner. I took her into the large run, giving her an opportunity to play in the snow. Olivia had a great time running in circles in the snow, and she loved playing fetch. She chased down the rope toy and would return it every time. Only once did the rope toy get lost in the snow after I tossed it to her, causing her to look confused and searching all around her as she trotted back to me. When she did find the toy, she would shake it and pull at it along the way when returning it to me. Olivia exchanged the toy for treats. She sat calmly and patiently each time I offered her a snack. She always took the treats in a gentle manner. Olivia allowed me to pet and scratch her all over. Olivia returned to her kennel with no issue.
