Meet Destiny – A Gentle Soul with a Sweet Side Destiny arrived with Benji, her longtime companion, after leaving the only home they’d ever known. While they don’t need to be adopted together, Destiny is ready to start a new chapter with someone who’ll appreciate her calm, loving nature. She’s a mellow, affectionate girl who enjoys a good walk just as much as a long nap on the couch. Destiny is food-motivated and responsive to gentle guidance, making her a great match for someone patient and dog-savvy. She’s still brushing up on leash skills and will need time to settle into her new routine.

Matrix is a four year old Akita. We have had her in our care before she was a year old. We are a family for 7 with a baby and we have alot to keep up with. want to make sure that the person who adopts her is serious and willing to give her the time attention and training she needs. I get her monthly bark box toys and treats and she loves that. She loves to play. Very loving and good with kids but not with other animals.

Twinkle lived at an Amish Farm in the house; however, the children let her outside and she killed the chickens. So very high prey drive. She loves children, playing in the yard and car rides. She is shy with new people at first but when she warms up to you, you will have companion for life. She knows basic commands and walks well on a leash. Twinkle is located at our Texas Ranch.

Story
Meet Elsa (ACCT-A-244846)! She's big...she's beautiful.... she's the whole package! This sweet girl is looking for her forever home, and we think she'd make a wonderful companion. Elsa enjoys gentle walks and leaning in for pets and scratches – she'll even curl around you to get more! She's interested in toys and has playful bursts of energy. She's also been known to sit nicely for treats and enjoy them all on her own. Shelter staff have noted she was a bit nervous in new environments when she arrived, so patience and coaxing will be key to helping her settle in. Good news – Elsa is reported to be housebroken! Could Elsa be the one for you? 🎥 Videos: Elsa gets a bath 🧼 https://youtube.com/shorts/l5Aw7DF2_mo?feature=share Elsa loves treats : https://youtube.com/shorts/0CpD8qFZccc?si=qC3gYfK0NOirIqHk Meet playful Elsa : https://youtube.com/shorts/f8mUR7GPx7w?si=z8P8-4mNo9dcXQos Playgroup 3/10:https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLfMCm6kgAGI4n0H63Pu2OeMHPVlmp1wmF 🐕 Behavior Notes: 03/15/2026: Kennel Presentation: at back of kennel- came forward when I approached. Stayed still to be leashed. Hopped right out. Leash Skills: medium pressure- for a large dog, very manageable. Sociability: leans into you for pets and scratches. Curls around to get more. Chased toys and playfully bowed with them. Spurts of energy. Sat for treats and also got excited/ jumped up for them. Would take treats and lay down and enjoy by themselves. Play: interested in toys, playfully bowed bows, energetic Dog Interaction: met dogs through the fence, medium neutral wagging tailReturn to Kennel: stepped in for treat. Color Level: exp goldRecommendations and considerations: 03/11/2026: Walked pretty close to me so I pet her. She allowed pets all down her back and leaned into my legs. 03/10/2026: Playgroup 3/10: Steerable with water (5/5) but not with shake can (0/5). Handler reported that she was nervous walking through the kennels and required patience & coaxing. But once outside, appeared neutral / relaxed. Slow, hesitant entry into play yard. Tentative, aloof greetings with Otis. These continued for several minutes: aloof sniffing in circles with slow tail wags and lip licks. Eventually tried soliciting some push/pull play from Otis with play bows and shuffles. Was corrected by Buddy Lee with some grumbly air snaps for space when she went to investigate him in the corner of the yard. Elsa corrected Coco Loco with some grumbles, while she was persistently play bowing and soliciting play. ACCT Philly is located at 111 West Hunting Park Ave in Philadelphia.
