Story
Moon is a true husky: vocal, playful, expressive, and full of personality. If he “talks” to you, it’s because he wants to share his thoughts, dreams, and daily commentary. He loves outdoor time, zooming around the yard, chasing balls, toys, and willing humans, then flopping down for full-body scritches. Moon is very treat-motivated, knows sit, and enjoys learning. On leash, he has medium energy with a little pulling because his nose wants to explore everything. After playtime, he’s happy to relax and soak up attention! Moon has exhibited resource guarding around food, so he’s looking for an adult-only or teens 12+ home with adopters who can respect his boundaries and manage mealtimes thoughtfully. If you’re looking for an active, talkative, outdoorsy companion with a big personality and an even bigger heart, Moon could be your guy. Come meet him at ACCT Philly, open daily from 10 am to 6 pm VIDEOS Met Lawrence https://youtube.com/shorts/lvYapXfT_d4?si=v2nh0KIEOzFtEuav Curious, sniffing, soft wide eyes, loose body. BEHAVIOR 01/31/2026 volunteer notes: Moon is the perfect snow dog. He zoomed around the yard gleefully playing every game he could think of. He is a vocal pup which if you don’t understand husky speak, you might think he’s mad at you but he’s actually just chatting about his hopes, dreams, and woes. He is very treat motivated. He loved to chase ice blocks, balls, and running humans. He loved to get scritches. Moon is a very fun companion to have for an outdoor romp around. When returning to kennel, his dinner was present and he does guard his bowl. However, treats > dinner so we were able to distract him to get his leash off and then he could go eat his dinner. Otherwise, Moon even laid down in the snow to get scritches all over. He doesn’t mind fur clumps being pulled off and will even attempt to eat them before spitting them out. This is very true husky behavior. 01/26/2026 Walksheet as of 1/24: Moon was taken for walks on January 20th, 21st, and 22nd. On January 20th, he was noted to have medium energy and no behavioral issues. His handler called him a "good boy" who "wants to play" and had a "very slight pull" on the leash. On January 21st, he again showed medium energy with no issues. He was "easy back in" the kennel with a peanut butter bone, though it was noted he is "snatchy with treats." On January 22nd, he was noted to be "a lil anxious but [a] good boy," with a tendency to pace back and forth. 01/20/2026 staff notes: Kennel Presentation: At the front of the kennel vocalization/low grumbling. Ears forward, wide eyes and tail mid. Leash Skills: No issues leashing up. Pulls mildly while on the leash, nose to the ground sniffing. Sociability: Asocial. Only interacted with him when I was offering treats, moved away when I reached to consent pet. Ears forward, closed mouth with low vocalizations ( talkative husky noises) Snatchy with treats. Knows sit and can catch the treat Play: n/a Dog Interaction: Met Midnight Murphy. Through the fence he was growling with tense body. On leash meet he was avoidant, growling when they came face to face. Return to Kennel: Walked right into kennel without hesitation. Color Level: Exp Blue Recommendations and considerations: 01/20/2026 staff notes: Behavior waiver for Resource guarding. Resource tested, he was eating a bowl of fresh pet. I stepped forward and he low growled continued to eat. Was able to lightly pet his back end and he continued to growl while also eating. Got a long pole to touch the food bowl while he was eating, he never escalated further then growl and hovering over the bowl. 01/20/2026 staff notes: During my morning walk through I walked up to Moon's kennel. He was low vocalizing ( Like husky talking/howling), As I got closer to his kennel he began to growl. I offered a treat and he took it gently. From the opening of the door I could see a frozen kong, he was hovering over it and low growling. I lifted up my hand without a treat and he snarled.

Story
Meet Silas! This sweet hearted pooch unfortunately came to us because his family could no longer keep him. While he is very nervous at first he is very sweet and affectionate once he warms up. He will need a home that is experienced with escapist as he tends to try to flee. We ask that any children in the home be 10+ due to his nervousness and some guarding behaviors. He may do well with another dog who is calm and confident to help him with his nervousness. He unfortunately has significant prey drive and can not go to a home with cats or small animals.Does he sound like a good fit for your home?! Then come down and meet this handsome dog.---If you are interested in adopting, please come prepared --bring a photo ID, proof of address, and everyone in the home including resident dogs with vaccination history. We are open daily 12-6pm.---The Pennsylvania SPCA - Lancaster Center848 S. Prince St. Lancaster PA 17603Kennel #16516717-917-6979lancaster@pspca.org
