Finny ACCT-A-241276 is currently considered urgent and at risk of euthanasia due to length of stay and lack of space for incoming dogs. Finny must have confirmed placement with a RESCUE PARTNER or ADOPTER by THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 5TH at 10AM. Should Finny’s medical or behavioral status change, his urgency and timeline for placement may also change. Finny came to ACCT Philly as a stray on January 13th after being reported roaming the area for at least a day. He has shown himself to be a sensitive and cautious dog who warms up with patience, treats, and gentle handling. Staff and volunteers describe him as very sweet—nervous at first, but affectionate and even eager to give kisses once trust is established. Finny walks nicely on leash and has done well meeting other dogs. Finny would do best in a home with children over the age of 12 who can respect his boundaries and support him as he continues to build confidence. Due to his length of stay, Finny is urgently seeking placement with a rescue partner or adopter. VIDEOS: Finny & Skittle meet: https://youtube.com/shorts/pkpG8TE_hxI?si=50s9nac8YB-GPMC3 BEHAVIOR: Per staff 1/26: Medium energy. Excited to go outside - likes snow but door was not opening to go out today - held by garage door :( Per staff 1/22: An ACA was in the pen with Finny. When she was attempted to switch to her slip lead instead of the clip leash he began jumping up and biting at the leash. Due to behavioral changes, he was leveled up to Blue. Per volunteer 1/21: Medium energy. Loves to run with Lou Dog. Per volunteer 1/18: Low energy. Very sweet but very nervous, does not like the snow. Per staff 1/18: Kennel Presentation: Laying on the bed when I approached. Soft eyes, ears forward and neutral body. I tossed a treat to him on the bed which he ate. Leash Skills: Had to step in to the kennel and lean to leash. Did a treat lure to leash up. He walked out slowly. We walked through the building to go to the newer yard for a dog meet. His head was low, tail down and hyper vigilant going around corners. He would also flinch going past people in the hallways. Sociability: Shy guy who let me do some soft/slow consent petting. Eyes were soft and ears forward with a tail down. Play: n/a Dog Interaction: Met Skittle. He sniffed and then moved away. Not overly interested in interacting with her. Return to Kennel: Walked right in and I had the leash clipped. Offered a treat and removed the leash. Color Level: Exp Gold Recommendations and considerations: Best suited for a home with kids 12+ due to fearful behavior. Per staff 1/18: Got his other meds this morning in food with no problem, unable to give eye meds even with food as a distraction he kept moving and looking away and I did not want to push him. Per staff 1/17: Medium energy. Ducked head w/ leash + moved back when getting out but slowly looped + he came out. Outside he was a little shy but allowed pets + gave lots of kisses. Per staff 1/15: Kennel Presentation: Laying on the bed when I approached. Squinty eyes, ears forward and neutral body. Leash Skills: Had to step in with one foot and treat lure to leash as he did not get up from laying on the bed. Slowly walked out, and walked nicely next to me. We walked through the building and he was cautious passing people and would slow down a little. Sociability: Came over and allowed gentle pets and gave low swaying tail wags with ears to the side and soft eyes. Play: n/a Dog Interaction: Met Skittle. Did some nice parallel walking sniffed and went off doing their own thing. Return to Kennel: Walked right into kennel without issue. Color Level: Exp Gold Per staff 1/15, vet exam: Nervous but significantly calmer and more complaint than yesterday (on Gaba/Traz). Politely taking treats Per staff 1/14, vet exam: Very fearful and anxious. Per staff 1/14: ACA was attempting to take out to clean kennel. Finny retreated to the corner of the kennel sitting on the bed with tense eyes, ears forward and gave a paw lift. ACA tried to lasso but Finny was dodging. Did a shake off when the leash touched him. I tossed a treat in and he ate it. Handed the ACA some pepperoni and he was able to treat lure to leash. Making available due to improved behavior from last nights interaction. Per staff 1/13: Went out to take a picture and attempt to scan the dog. While in the car, he growled, had a stiff body, stared intensely, and bared his teeth at ACA Matt P. We asked the finder to leash the dog inside the car because we observed how quickly the dog's behavior changed with the finder, he immediately started wagging his tail very fast, had a loose body, and soft eyes. The finder leashed the dog, and he exited the car without issue. ACA Matt was then able to walk the dog straight to a kennel. Per finder 1/13: Temperamental with strangers. Licks. Friendly, shy, scared, and playful. MEDICAL: On 1/30, Finny was neutered. On 1/17, Finny was diagnosed with an upper respiratory infection (URI) or "doggy cold" and started on antibiotics. He tested negative for pneumovirus and finished his medication on 1/30. On 1/14, Finny was prescribed gabapentin and trazodone due to his anxiety and fear. He was also evaluated for gastrointestinal upset, including vomiting and diarrhea, which has since resolved with supportive care, medications, and monitoring. He had some eye discharge, with an initial concern for entropion that was later ruled out. During his intake exam on 1/13, Finny weighed 47.3 pounds and was in ideal body condition. He was estimated at 2 years old and had white adult teeth. His eyes, nose, and coat were clean. Staff could not look at his ears due to being head shy. - Due to being significantly overcapacity with animals and higher than usual intake, extensions are unlikely to be granted.

Tank is a nearly 7-month-old pup (born May 29, 2025) who already weighs 53 lbs—and he’s just getting started. We believe he’s a Shar Pei / Rhodesian Ridgeback mix, and he’s expected to grow into a big, handsome guy around 80–90 lbs. For his size, Tank is actually pretty calm, but don’t be fooled—he’s still very much a puppy. Tank was surrendered by his owners by no fault of his own. He’s super sweet, affectionate, and social, but he’s also strong and a little mouthy, which means he’ll need a home committed to ongoing training, structure, and consistency. With his future size, good manners will be essential. Tank does well with other dogs, can be cat tested, and would be best with older children, as he may be a bit too much for the littlest family members. If you’re ready to invest time in training a big puppy who has all the potential to become an amazing adult dog, Tank is ready to grow up with you. Apply at lvpeaceablekingdom.info.

✨Meet Lily!✨ Lily is a 5-year-old Boxer mix who came into us as a surrender from a commercial breeding facility (aka Puppy Mill) in Lancaster County. Lily had a very difficult life before coming to us, being used as a mill mama her entire life. She is shut down at this time but is slowly starting to give us her trust. We are confident she will make a wonderful family member for a very lucky family, who understands her past and gives her the time she needs to trust them and her new surroundings. Lily loves other animals, and will thrive in a home with at least one other dog. Adopting a puppy mill survivor is life-changing—for you and them. For these dogs, everything is new and often overwhelming: people, houses, stairs, leashes, food bowls, collars, toys, TVs, ovens, doorways, pavement…the list goes on. They need adopters who can move slowly, be patient, keep expectations reasonable, and provide the understanding and tools they need to grow into happy, confident companions. Patience, positive reinforcement, and understanding are key! We promise there is nothing that compares to gaining the love and trust of a mill mama, but it requires intentional effort and commitment from their new family. With the right guidance, puppy mill survivors can blossom into well-socialized, joyful dog- so our goal is always to ensure every adopter is fully prepared to give them the life and environment they need to truly thrive! If you are interested in being considered for them please apply on our website at www.angelsretreat.org 💕🐾 Angel’s Retreat West Chester, PA PA Kennel License 17335
