Story
Bella is an adorable petite bunny-eared girl weighing just 42 pounds who is a sweet, wiggly, and shy lady, Bella doesn’t ask for much; she loves the simple things like hanging out with her family and going on walks. Bella has a reserved yet affectionate demeanor. Adopted in 2022 after being turned in to ACCTPhilly as a stray, Bella spent several happy years with her owner until they surrendered her back to the ACCT Philly in February 2026. When her second stay there became too long and with dozens of dogs entering the shelter daily, Bella was Timestamped. Fortunately, we were able to pull her and she is now blossoming in her foster home! Bella does have a noted history of resource guarding dating back to her original shelter stay, but with proper management and separation for meals and fun chews, she has shown she is completely capable of living with another dog and she has a history of being okay with cats. With her behavioral needs in mind, Bella requires a loving household that is equipped to manage her resource guarding, and ensure that any food or high-value items are given under supervision and while Bella is separated from any other resident pets. With additional training and proper management of her known behavioral needs, Bella is sure to bring light, love, and joy to her new family. Bella loves cuddles, loves going for walks and walks well on leash, loves to talk to her people using grunts and groans.

Story
Bonnie is a fantastic dog with humans. She is so loving and cuddly, and she would make a great pet to anyone who adopts her. I am rehoming her because she is reactive with other dogs and it has become too difficult walking her in the city. I have had her a couple of weeks and have realized that I am not equipped to train a reactive dog. If she goes to a home with no other dogs, she will thrive. My hope for her is that she is adopted to a home with a yard she can play in and minimal neighbors with dogs so she isn't being triggered everyday as I live in the city. She is house trained and her recall skills when not distracted by other dogs are strong and becoming stronger as I work with her. She is crate trained as well, and she loves giving kisses.

Story
Chango was originally someone else's and his name was Choppa. He was their pandemic puppy, born on May 20, 2020. Around the time other people were getting rid of their pandemic puppies, Chango was put up on Craigslist in January 2021 for free.Chango is very affectionate and is the best cuddle buddy. However, he is also very scared and can be aggressive when frightened. He has never bitten anyone, but a scared dog can bite.He is very smart and stubborn. He knows the rules but will break them unless supervised or on a leash.He lives with two other dogs and a cat. He must be on trazodone when introduced to new dogs, but once acclimated, he is fine without the medication.Chango is very good with children and never shows aggression or growls. However, he may try to dominate anyone, so he should not be left alone with young children who cannot push him off if he tries to mount them.

Story
Meet Rolo, a handsome and young brindle pup with the most soulful eyes. He is only a year old, and thriving in foster care. He is so sweet and kind, with a gentle heart. He is truly just a big goofball of love. He does really well with other dogs, and especially more confident dogs to help him navigate the world. He can be a bit nervous, and having a canine friend seems to really bring him out of his shell. He would probably get along well with another well mannered dog of a similar size. He adores toys and being cuddly and silly. How could you not adore him? Come see Rolo and you'll fall in love too. To see more of Rolo in action, please follow this link: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1Z9J5rcPylPiE8FkBRo7m3x3Nqr_iAQ0W?usp=drive_link This animal is currently in a foster home!

Story
Georgia is a truly special girl, an absolute peach! Georgia was initially nervous around new people and environments, but once she feels comfortable, her affectionate personality shines through. Her favorite place in the world is stretched out across the bed, soaking up pets and smooches from anyone lucky enough to share her company. Georgia also enjoys leisurely walks throughout the day. She isn’t in any rush — preferring to take her time, nose to the ground, sniffing every interesting scent she finds. Because she moves at such a relaxed pace, she’s a dream on the leash and never pulls. This lovely lady has also shown great manners when it comes to house training. At the shelter, she consistently waited to go outside, and she’s kept up that good habit ever since — no accidents in the house, just a well-behaved girl who’s grateful for a routine. Georgia has so much love left to give and is ready to find a calm, caring home where she can spend her days being adored. If you’re looking for a gentle, affectionate companion who will fill your home with warmth and quiet joy, Georgia may be the perfect match.

Moonlight is a very sweet, playful, silly, but chill girl, who is looking for a home. She loves her walks, loves to play(especially wrestling), loves toys, other animals, and food! She was actually pretty picky when I first got her, but with time, ive convinced her to start trying things, and now she loves to try new foods. She's still training, but is getting better and better everyday, and is already such a great dog. Shes great with the cats, loves other dogs, has lived with an older child before, and absolutely loves meeting new people. I believe she may also be a good candidate for doggy daycare! She would be the perfect dog for a first time dog owner/family, or someone in college who needs a quiet dog to hang out with. Dog adoptions require multiple meet and greets, including traning demonstrations. Adopters will get free training and any advice for life! I am here to make sure your new life together is as easy as possible. Adopters also get half off dog sitting and boarding, so no need to worry about going on trip. Moon is also a great traveler and is so sweet, she can enjoy all dog friendly amenities! So if you were looking for a little tag along buddy, Moon could be a fit for you! She is fully vaccinated, microchipped, spayed, and ready to go to her new home! If youre interested in adopting Moonlight, please fill out a Dog Adoption Application! 🐶Must live in Philly or within one hour 🐶Must be 18+ 🐶Must be able to have pets if you rent (i will need proof) 🐶Must be willing to undergo a housecheck

Meet Paige, a charming, petite pitbull terrier with a beautiful tan coat. Born around September 2022, she’s already spayed and up to date her vaccines, making her ready for her forever home. Paige is housebroken and crate-trained, showcasing her excellent manners. Full of energy, she thrives on playful activities and enriching mental stimulation. While she currently lives in an urban area, we believe she would absolutely flourish in a peaceful suburban or rural setting with a secure fenced yard. The city noises can be overwhelming for her, and a quieter environment would allow her to truly shine. We adore this delightful girl, and we’re certain you will too!

Story
Luke is the kind of dog who lives for the joy of movement—ears flying, paws pounding, tail wagging as he races around a yard without a care in the world. At just 4 years old, this white mixed-breed terrier is bursting with energy and heart, and he’s ready to share it all with a family of his own. Luke is looking for a special home: adult-only or older dog-savvy teens, where he can be the only pet, and with a fenced yard for him to run and run to his heart’s content. After a day of play, he’s a fantastic car companion, sleeps soundly in his crate, and happily chews on a good bone. He even “watches” basketball on TV, cocking his head to the sounds of the game. But as unstoppable as Luke’s spirit is, his world is quietly changing—he’s losing his vision. It can’t be fixed, but it hasn’t slowed him down one bit. Luke doesn’t need expensive medical care or special treatment. He’s still the same vibrant, playful boy, ready to run, love, and live life to the fullest with the people who finally choose him. What Luke needs most is someone who sees beyond what’s fading and recognizes everything he still is: vibrant, loving, and ready to give his whole heart. Luke has waited long enough for his second chance. Could you be the one to give it to him? Apply today to give Luke the forever he’s been dreaming of: https://www.hart2heartanimalrescue.com/forms/form?formid=6527
