Story
I adopted Kilo from ACCT Philly shortly after his 5th birthday (DOB 6/8/17). Kilo is outgoing and playful like a pup, however, sometimes he can be guarded. He’s anxious in new environments and when touched by strangers. He’s good w/ home baths, however, going to groomers has been difficult (especially nail and oral care). He has a bite history. He was doing good for almost 1.5yrs. However, bit a groomer Oct 2024 for pulling his leash. Add info: He snuggles on the couch and has been a great comfort. He’ll spend time in a crate when you’re away. He will use pads (currently I have his outside his crate), though sometimes he may have an accident. He enjoys chew toys. I’d like to rehome Kilo so that I can help raise my young godson. He’s a good boy who would benefit from having an experienced owner who could provide some TLC, in a home w/ no young children or other pets. Enclosed outdoor space would be a plus. You’ll get a harness, food, bowls, carrier + new crate.

Story
My friend's family picked them up from someone selling them at a gas station. I'm uncertain of their age, likely more than 10 years old. They like to pee on things when no one is looking, so they need to be walked a lot and not be left alone with things you don't want pee on. They will howl all day if left alone. I've only seen them rip apart underwear when left alone. They will eat q-tips and tissues. They will beg you for attention and love to sit in your lap while you watch movies. They walk slow with their tiny legs, so you must be patient. They don't play fetch or anything, they just demand your love. They are comfortable with strangers stopping to pet them in public as long as you are right there with them, and they've never bitten anyone. They've only ever barked on walks at people who run past them. They bark if they think you are hurting someone, like if you move quickly towards someone. Other than that they don't bark at other dogs, they just howl non stop when left alone.

Story
Roger is a resilient 1 year old chihuahua mix. He came to us after having been rescued at 4 months from an abusive home and then adopted for a few months by what we have been told was a neglectful home. When we first took him in from the SPCA he had no training; he did not even seem to be familiar with a leash. We are first time dog owners who have been working with Roger for the past four months. He is very smart and has been quick to learn commands and is successful with training. We love him and love getting to spend time with him when he can be calm or playful. That being said, we have struggled in supporting him behaviorally. We have worked closely with a vet to try different medications as Roger is highly anxious and reactive. This makes sense due to his very inconsistent life thus far. He can be everything from inconsolable to destructive when left alone.

Marley is a distinguished older gentleman who wants to enjoy his golden years in a calm, relaxing home. He is a quiet, sweet boy who'd do well in a household with likeminded adults.

Story
Meet Pippin, a resilient 2-year-old chi mix on her journey to healing. Once living in fear, she's now ready to find a loving home that understands her past and can help her blossom.Pippin has had a challenging past; she was used for breeding at a young age, and her previous owners prioritized profit over her well-being. Thankfully, those days are behind her. We are committed to ensuring that she will no longer be used for breeding, as she deserves a life filled with love and care.When she was saved, she was living outside in a dog house, lacking the socialization and human contact that every dog deserves. This unfortunate start has led to some behavioral challenges, particularly around food and possessions, as well as deep-seated fears stemming from her past abuse.  Her body was covered in scabs and infections when we rescued her, but after months of dedicated medical care, she is transforming into the beautiful girl she was always meant to be. With one blue eye and one brown eye, Pippin is not just charming; she's also learning to trust again.We are looking for a loving home that can continue working through her past traumas and provide her with the patience and understanding she needs. While Pippin is selective about her dog friends, she can play nicely with smaller, playful dogs. In addition to her affectionate side, Pippin has a playful spirit. She absolutely adores her toys and can spend hours entertaining herself with them. However, due to her fear of children, we believe it’s best for her future home to be child-free.Pippin is a sweetheart who absolutely adores being the center of attention. Once she gets to know you, she becomes incredibly affectionate.We are looking for a compassionate home that can continue working through her past traumas. Past experience with abused dogs is a plus.Pippin has been spayed and is now up to date on all her vaccinations. She is also microchipped and currently on heartworm preventive medication, ensuring she stays healthy and safe as she transitions into this new chapter of her life.Interested in adopting this pet?Click here for BCAA's on-line Application! PLEASE NOTE: Our adoption fee helps to cover our expenses and includes all shots, *age appropriate*, distemper and rabies, fecal check, spay/neuter, heartworm test, grooming, and in many cases dental and also the fee we pay when we rescue from a shelter.
