Husky puppies and dogs in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

** $75 in pledges for any rescue that pulls ** Snowball ACCT-A-120914 is currently considered urgent and at risk of euthanasia due to length of stay and lack of space for incoming dogs. Snowball must have confirmed placement with a RESCUE PARTNER or ADOPTER by Tuesday, October 1st at 10 A.M. Should Snowball's medical or behavioral status change, her urgency and timeline for placement may also change. Meet Snowball, a resilient young female husky with a heartwarming story. Originally brought to the shelter in August 2022 after police found her tied to a fence, Snowball's life has had its challenges. After being returned to her owner, she was found again, possibly after being hit by a car, and brought back to the shelter by a kind-hearted Good Samaritan. Despite her rough past, Snowball has shown incredible strength and sweetness. She's a bit shy at first, but once she warms up, she becomes a gentle, loving companion. Snowball loves treats and knows how to sit, always taking them gently. She enjoys walks and pulls only moderately on the leash, making her an easy companion with the right harness. She's also shown great potential in dog meets, greeting other dogs with a wagging tail and excitement. Though she can be nervous around new people and sensitive to touch, especially around her ears and backside, Snowball is food motivated and responsive to positive reinforcement. She gives clear signals when she's uncomfortable, making her a great candidate for someone who understands huskies and their reserved nature. Snowball has faced some physical challenges, including mild discomfort in her right leg, but with the right care, she's well on her way to healing. This quiet and curious girl is ready for a fresh start in a loving home where she can feel safe and comfortable. She is recommended for a home with children 15 and older. Snowball would thrive in a calm, patient environment where her confidence can continue to grow. Could you be the one to give this beautiful girl the loving home she deserves?

When taking her out of kennel she was at the front waiting patiently with a wagging tail and neutral eyes. she walk well on leash and only pulled when we were close to the door to outside. We went into the eval room for pictures and she did so well and was called "the most perfect husky yet". She stood still for her photos, giving them smiles and kisses, wagging her tail and even allowing slow but all over pets (including her face). She did very well and due to this and further improvement to her behavior she can be bumped down. Per volunteer 9/21/24: I had a great outing with Snowball today! She was very easy to leash and walked out of the kennel with no issues. Outside she spent some time in the play yard exploring the smells as I spoke with another volunteer. I took some treats out and she came right up to me and showed me that she knows sit! She took treats super gently. On leash she pulled moderately but was easy to direct- with a harness she'd be great. She did really well meeting a few different dogs through the fence- always had a loose wagging tail and remained very loose. No issues going back inside Per staff 9/16/24: Snowball was easy to remove from kennel and walked well on leash. I did not attempt handling, but she was great for her dog meet! She ignored the other dog through the gate and then when we proceeded to a face meet, she got really excited with a few episodes of zoomies. She walked well back to her kennel and I was able to put her in and unleash her without issues. Per staff 9/12/24: Unable to give buprenorphine last night. When attempting to give shot dog bit me (did not break skin only left small bruise) Per staff 8/29/24: KENNEL PRESENTATION: Snowball was standing by the door, tense neutral eyes, backed up when the kennel door was opened, a little nervous of the leash but once secured she came trotting out LEASH SKILLS: Pulls minimally (a little limp) HANDLING: Snowball came in very curious and quiet. She was conflicted with touch, allowing us to pet her head (sensitive around her ears) and back. She doesn't want to take treats sometimes and gets nervous around new people but warms up. She is protective of her backside and will move away from the handlers being behind her. She is food motivated, knows down and sit, and is a reserved and quiet husky. She tolerates touch on her wounds but lip licked and cried - did not escalate. She gives signals when she is uncomfortable without escalating further. PLAY No interest TOYS: No interest Per staff 8/28/24: Unable to obtain xrays at this time due to behavior. dog was easy to get from kennel to xray room but once in the room when attempting to pick the dog up to be put on the table turned and snapped at handler.

Khloe K is a 2-year-old spayed female who came in as an owner surrender with Bing on 9/30. The owner described Khloe as "playful, friendly, high energy, friendly with cats and children" Behavior Notes: Per a day trip on 10/6: "Khloe was a very good girl. She did great on her walk and did good in the car. She does shed a lot but that would be the only downfall I see in this pretty girl. She's very loving, playful and obedient. I hope she finds a great home soon!" 10/1 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION: KNOWN HISTORY: Owned, came in with Bing KENNEL PRESENTATION: Khloe was at the front of the kennel with wide eyes and a tucked tail. She was fearful and tried to run away when the handler lowered the divider. Once the divider was lowered khloe began to pace and was nervous, but eventually slowly came forward and sniffed the handler with semi soft eyes and allowed her to place the leash over her head without issue. LEASH SKILLS: Pulls minimally HANDLING: Khloe was nervous in the room but calm with us. She paced the room for the first several minutes and was very anxious and exit focused. She allowed all handling from both of us in the room and was very tolerant of all handling, but never leaned in or solicited remaining very stressed and exit focused. Had interest in cheese, but would not take any other treats. PLAY Engaged in play and helped her to warm up!

Once finally secured he came out on his own. LEASH SKILLS: Pulls minimally HANDLING: King was nervous in the room with us at first. He sat a few feet away, panting.

Calling all husky lovers for Carther! Carther is an energetic 2-year-old neutered male who came in as a stray on 10/5. The finder described Carther as "friendly with strangers, curious around other animals, friendly, playful, loves walking." While Carther did have an owner who we tracked down, unfortunately his owner wasn't interested in reclaiming him :( Carther is staying hopeful and knows there's a family for him out there! Carther is now available for adoption and foster at ACCT philly! You can meet him any day from 10am-6pm. Interested fosters should email foster@acctphilly.org. Behavior Notes: Per volunteer 10/10/24 Carther: Carther came out of his Kennel super easily with no problem. In the run he was super high energy and jumpy so I decided to take him for a little run where he did awesome! He did pull a little in the beginning but once he got the hang of it he was so good! He was a super sweet boy who leaned in for some pets. However, getting him back in his kennel was a different story. Carther does not like you touching the leash around his neck and will try to snap. My leash ended up staying on him until staff came over. They tried to take my leash out with a pull so he didn't snap at us which caused him to go after the pole. After many attempts to grab the leash with the pole we were able to get it and took him out of the kennel to re clip him with no issue. Once he was back in the kennel he did try biting the leash again. We were able to get the leash off. 10/7 BEHAVIOR EVALUATION: KNOWN HISTORY: Stray KENNEL PRESENTATION: Carther was standing at the front of kennel alert barking and howling with wide eyes, lip chattering, and neutral semi tense body. He dodged the leash when trying to leash him and nibbling at it. After several tries the handler got him leashed and he exited without issue. LEASH SKILLS: Pulls minimally HANDLING: In the yard Carther was friendly and fairly social and handler oriented for a husky! He allowed all over handling including his tail, belly, feet, and face! He could be a bit mouthy at times, but was very gentle with it! He was very easy to handle in the yard and had good manners with us! PLAY Engages in play TOYS: Interest but no possession Medical Notes: Per an intake exam on 10/5: Carther was noted to be in good general health.
