Story
Kelce is a nervous, sensitive girl looking for a calm, safe home to help her blossom. Currently feeling overwhelmed in her kennel, she prefers space and patience as she adjusts, but she has a sweet, affectionate side underneath.
Kelce is gentle, loves to be close, and is happy to hang out by your side. She’s been warming up to her shelter pals, walks nicely on a leash, and is crate trained. With time, kindness, and a quiet place to grow, Kelce will make a wonderful, addition to your home.
meet her at ACCT Philly any day of the week from 10 am to 6pm

Staff indicated to me that dog was seen resource guarding a Nyla bone in her kennel. When I approach the kennel, she was laying on the bed with the bone between her legs and began growling with whale eye, remaining laying down. She will leave the item for treats.
Signs were put up indicating this, further testing needed. Behavioral history from
