Story
Meet Milo!!!  This special boy is a 4 1/2 year old, 11 lbs maltipoo.  He is the complete package.  This sweet boy is good with other dogs both big and small.  He is also good with cats.  Milo is an active little guy that has the best time running and playing with his foster brothers and sisters.  They all have the best time in their fenced in yard.  Milo really enjoys playing but he is also all about the most important thing--YOU!  Milo loves his foster mom.  If she sits down he is right there.  If she goes to the kitchen Milo is right behind her to see if he can help.  At bed time, you got it, trotting down the hall with you.  This great guy would be an excellent companion for a young single person or a great addition to a family with children 6 and older.  (to our knowledge he has not been around toddlers and we don't want to set him up for failure.)  Milo is so small that he could go everywhere with you that doggies are allowed even in the airplane on vacation!  This boy does not want to be left behind.  Milo is ready for a late new year celebration when he meets his forever family.  Hopefully that will be with you.  To be considered for Milo's frever family and to request an application please contact Vivienne at viviennejames@comcaast.net.  APPROVED APPLICATION AND ADOPTION FEE REQUIRED.  (Milo is currently in Tennessee and can be transported north upon adoption.)January 6, 2025, 2:04 pm

Story
Meet Marz ACCT-A-212335! Marz is a 2-year-old male who came in as an owner surrender on 1/31 due to the owner moving. Videos -- Snicker meets Marz: https://youtube.com/shorts/wqjzCbrEnac?si=lcVXtY5flQ8WpRo0 Marz and Bingo: https://youtube.com/shorts/3exhdChE53c?si=4H512KZgNfHmGLsB Marz in my lap: https://youtube.com/shorts/bqd4-b1AZV8?si=9udc8ASRGY4UMH52 Marz with his favorite staff: https://youtube.com/shorts/Hp0cXs78IFU?si=Gw5IiDNOovIJgHnw Behavior Notes: Per staff on 2/4: Marz got out for some one on one time today! He was less reactive in kennel at first, and calmly laid on his pillow when I approached. I stuck some of the leash through the bars and he even extended his neck to sniff it! I reached in with the leash, but when it got close to him he began to snap, growl, and hard bark at the leash again. I was able to secure him easier this time with a big lasso, and once secured he came right out. We went to the office, and he was a little nervous of handling at first, and gave me some hard eyes when I reached for him. I gave him some space and talked in a baby voice, and he gave me some low wags and approached me on his own. He sat near my leg and allowed me to give him head and body pets, and curled himself into my leg. I crouched down on the floor with him and he tentatively put his paw in my lap, almost asking if he could climb up. He curled up in my lap and leaned in for lots of pets and love. He was quite sweet with me, but I still took everything nice3 and slow so I didn't scare him. He gave me low wags here and there for baby talk, and even exposed his belly a bit for me. I asked another staff member to come in to see how he'd do with a stranger, and he growled at them when they entered. Marz was in my lap when he entered, so I put him on the ground to make sure he wasn't guarding me. Marz stayed behind me and was too nervous to approach the stranger on his own. He did not allow handling from the new person, and would bare teeth when they reached for him. He gave lots of signals that he was uncomfortable with the new person, so we didn't push it. Marz needs a slow approach and some time to warm up to new people! When it was time to return to kennel he gave me no issues and climbed right in. Per staff 2/1: “Got Marz out for an eval and to take him to surgery. He was very reactive in kennel, and bared teeth when he saw me approaching. He growled and snapped at the leash whenever it got close to him. it took ~10 minutes of lasso attempts to secure him, and he continuously snapped and bit the leash. I could hear the snap of his jaws he was snapping so hard, so he meant business. To his credit, he remained fixated on the leash, and not my hands. Once secured we went to the office for a bit to see if he could be handled or not. In the room he immediately peed, so he may be trying to stay housetrained. He hid under a chair at first, but when I removed the option of hiding he approach me with stress pants and wide eyes. He allowed some gentle back touches, and after a few minutes came close to me for more pets. He allowed most handling, but wasn't a fan of his paws being touched, and would paw lift and lip lick a lot. He continued to lip lick throughout our time together, but did not escalate with me. When we went to surgery they asked if he would allow them to listen to his heart and breathing, and since he was allowing handling from me I thought we could give it a try. He sniffed the stethoscope, but when the vet touched the stethoscope to him he began to growl, so we decided to wait until he was sedated. We were able to sedate him by placing a towel over his head and using a leg pin. He did growl, but did not escalate. He allowed some light handling from me afterwards, but was stress panting and lip licking. I would recommend that Marz be rescue only until we can get further notes. I'm not sure if he became reactive to the vet due to reactivity to medical procedures, or if he was just reactive to a stranger attempting to touch him.” Per staff 1/31: “Couldn’t check him in due to fractious behaviors such as growling lip licking snapping and whale eye.” Per owner: “Mostly housebroken, super high energy, pulls on leash. Too much energy/gets overstimulated, Separation anxiety when home alone, Has accidents in the house, Possessive of food (food guarding), Fearful of new people (stranger danger), Reactive/aggressive towards strangers. Has bitten a person, he was approached while on his bed. However he was very friendly with the person before so I guess he was being territorial. Nervous/fearful/shy with strangers, depends on the situation with children and cats, aggressive/reactive with cats. Mars will growl and get aggressive when he is approached while in his cage. However outside the cage is friendly and less scared of people walking up to him. He can be slightly nervous when he meets you with his tail tucked away but if you approach him with a happy tone and openness he opens right up. High prey drive. I think Marz needs a patience family who can help him through his nervousness and anxiousness. He is very sensitive to noise and enjoys a calm space.” Medical Notes: Per an exam on 2/2: “Vomit found in cage. Bright, alert, responsive, barking at us cage side, and lunging to bite when we touch his paperwork. Cannot examine. Fear and anxiety in shelter.” Per an exam on 2/1: “Ears are hairy. Some Tartar on teeth. Bright, alert, responsive, fractious and scared.” ACCT Philly is located at 111 West Hunting Park Ave in Philadelphia. We are open for adoptions 7 days a week.
