A mother and her 13yr old son arrived at the local mall to do a little shopping. As the 13yr old got out of the car Bertha came bounding up to him and nuzzled his hand asking for pets. He reached down and petted her, distracted from finishing getting out of the car. Next thing he knew, Bertha was climbing into the car with him for some much needed air conditioning (it was one of those days that it was REALLY hot). They obviously couldn’t continue their shopping trip, so they got back into the car and drove the dog into town while calling us. The entire car ride Bertha was in the backseat but had her head resting on the shoulder of the 13yr old in the passenger seat in front of her.When we met Bertha we put a leash on her and she willingly came with us. She loaded into the animal control truck like a champ with a little just a tiny bit of help up the ramp. She’s been calm and peaceful in her kennel, wags at the staff as they approach and doesn't have issue with her neighboring canine friends in the kennels next to her. She is pretty good on a leash unless she REALLY needs to go to the bathroom and is in a hurry, or if something scares her and she's getting out of dodge.Because of her size we wouldn't recommend her for a home with really little kids, unless they're familiar with giant breeds that aren't aware of just how large they are.Interested in adopting?

Pocono ACCT-A-259475 is currently considered urgent and at risk of euthanasia due to length of stay and lack of space for incoming dogs. Pocono must have confirmed placement with a RESCUE PARTNER or ADOPTER by THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 17TH at 10AM. Should Pocono's medical or behavioral status change, her urgency and timeline for placement may also change. Meet Pocono! She came to ACCT Philly on August 24th after being found as a stray and brought in by police. She was shy and unsure when she first arrived, but she has been making wonderful progress and showing more of her sweet personality each day. Pocono is a low-to-medium energy girl who enjoys walks, knows sit and paw, and absolutely loves playing fetch. Once she feels comfortable, she enjoys affection and will happily lean into her favorite people for pets. She has also done well meeting other dogs, showing polite greetings and a willingness to sniff and walk alongside them. Pocono is still a little hesitant in new situations, but she responds well to calm, patient handling and has continued to gain confidence. She would love a home where she can take her time getting comfortable and keep discovering how wonderful life can be. Due to her length of stay, Pocono is urgently seeking placement with a rescue partner or adopter.
