Espiga is a charming, super cute and friendly boy who adores attention and loves saying hello to other dogs! With his playful spirit, Espiga is happiest when he’s near his humans, enjoying walks, playtime, or simply being by your side. One of Espiga’s favorite things in the world is playing with rope toys—though he does have a tendency to try and rip them apart, so a little supervision is needed. He’s still young at heart and would benefit from some additional training, especially with crate training, which he’s still working on. Espiga doesn’t like being left alone and would likely thrive in a home with another dog to keep him company. Though he’s not a fan of water, Espiga’s loyalty shines through—he even hopped on a paddleboard just to stay close to his foster! He’s a well-behaved boy for the most part but will need continued guidance as he matures. He’s so happy to be out of the shelter and is ready to find his perfect forever family. Espiga is a playful, puppy-like pit bull mix who brings joy to every room he enters. While his foster family believes he may be barely a year old based on his energy and behavior, the veterinarian estimates his age to be closer to four years. As we don’t have Espiga's full history, we’re working with the vet’s assessment, and his adoption records will reflect an age of four years. Regardless of his exact age, Espiga has the heart and spirit of a young pup—ready for fun, adventure, and lots of love in his forever home! If you’re looking for a friendly, playful companion who will be by your side through thick and thin, Espiga might just be the perfect fit for you. He deserves a loving home where he can thrive, play, and feel secure.

Meet Annie! Currently living the good life in a foster home! Since meeting Annie, she has been delightful, making everyone smile and laugh! She has so much love to give that she can't contain herself and absolutely MUST jump up to give you a hug! Due to this some folks think she would do better with older children so she doesn't knock over any little ones! Annie has had good interactions with other dogs and would love to meet your pup if you're considering her! We think she would do best with a slow introduction. A high-energy girl, Annie is up for anything. If you want a pup for running, hiking, biking, or camping, then Annie's your girl. After some good exercise, she's ready to cuddle and give and get all the love. Currently in foster care and looking for her forever home. Please email foster@acctphilly.org to express interest in meeting/adopting Annie.

If you want a pup for running, hiking, biking, or camping, then Annie's your girl. A fenced in yard or active family would be ideal. After she gets exercise, she's ready to cuddle to give and get love. Annie has done very well with our 12-year old & 17- year old boys. Per volunteer on 11/15: I took out Annie tonight and she was very good. When she saw me in front of her kennel, her tail immediately started wagging nice and loosely. She exited the kennel easily and we walked to the gate to exit out onto hunting park ave . She likes to sniff the grass and then we started a mile run which we finished in 10 min 30 sec. Annie is a very well behaved dog. She never jumps or grabs the leash, she looks back at me for reassurance with a big smile on her face and her tail wags after I lean over to pat her when we are finished. She's very treat motivated and walks right back into the kennel when you toss a treat inside. She's got plenty of energy but she's not a jumper at all. If someone had a big yard for her to run in whenever she wants to, I think she could live with young kids as her energy then wouldn't be an issue. She's affectionate and very treat motivated. Per foster 11/1: She is: Snuggly, A good eater and pooper, House trained, Good with other dogs (after a pack walk), Crate tolerant. She needs help with: Leash pulling, Barking at outside noises (her sitters have said she doesn't do it with them as much so), Doesn't do well with cats or squirrels. She loves looking out windows and playing fetch. She does have a lot of energy and loves running. I've been taking her on bike rides and she loves it! Please let me know asap if you would be able to take her or know someone who would be interested in adopting her. I'd provide all the toys and food and things she's accumulated. She does barks at outside noises and when she sees other animals but it's something we have been working on. It absolutely breaks my heart to have to do this and I do not want to take her to the shelter. I'll provide her crate and toys, leashes clothes food etc. she's the sweetest girl and deserves a good home. She enjoys going fast and it really tries her out. She's learning how to be in other dogs spaces so a meet and greet would have to be done. She's not good w cats or kids. Per staff 10/26: One hundred percent can vouch for this SWEET ANGEL! I have been able to look after her on short term bases and she's been WONDERFUL. I sadly can't take her full time because of my work schedule, but I am available for short stints/respite care when her full time foster needs assistance. She's an absolute snuggle bug and loves to look out windows. Did not have an issue with her barking, and is working really hard to be calmer around other dogs (but still will need to work on it!) Make some room in your heart for Annie and foster her today! Per staff 9/27: She's a sweetheart who loves to cuddle. Needs 3 10-15 min walks a day eats her food well. She's a very smart pupper and will let you know when she has to potty by running to the door and looking at her leash. She can be a bit mouthy but that usually means she just wants to play or wants a bone. She loves looking outside and watching the neighbors. She does sleep in bed with me but she'll sleep on the floor if need be. She's noted to have good dog meets in shelter but she seems to be leash reactive w me. So a meet and greet would have to be done if there are other dogs in the home. She's good with all adult humans (sorry no little people for this girl) Per staff 8/4: Annie greeted me at the front of her kennel with a loose body, soft eyes, and a wagging tail. She dodged the leash initially but then let me leash her. She jumped right out of the kennel and pulled very strongly all the way to the eval room. She put her front legs on my lap for pets, and allowed all over handling including her ears, feet, and tail. She is very treat motivated as well. She is playful and will pounce on toys when you throw them, but does not grab them at first. However, after playing some tag I found that Annie does enjoy playing with stuffed toys. Per volunteer 8/1: Annie has a zest for life! She pulls on her leash, but it's manageable. She is just super excited about being outside. We went for a nice walk near the track and she loved sniffing and exploring. In the dog run she was affectionate, drooly, and showed off her sit and stay skills. She's so much fun. It's noted that she's had good dog meets. ACCT Philly is located at 111 West Hunting Park Ave in Philadelphia. We are open for adoptions 7 days a week.

Meet Treston! Treston is an energetic, loveable 4 yr old pup. He is social with other dogs, and is currently in foster with two dogs, but really loves human companionship! He loves to be by your side and will follow you like a shadow. Treston's hobbies include cuddling, snuggling, and whatever your hobbies are Treston's least favorite thing is alone time. He's still learning how to enjoy solo-time in his crate. Treston's ideal adopter would be someone who understands his social needs and can continue building a positive experience for him when crating - tasty enrichment like a kong or chewy bone helps! When Treston is happy he is an excitable guy! He can be bouncey and energetic so a home without small children is ideal. Treston is very food motivated and a star student when it comes to training. He would love an active home that can provide him daily exercise and ongoing positive reinforcement training so he can be the very best boy he's destined to be! Want to know more about Treston or setup a meet? Email his foster Mackenzie at mackenzie.llillian@icloud.com Read on below to hear what his volunteer buddies had to say about him when he was at the shelter. Staff and volunteers both have great things to say about this cutie! Per behavior staff 7/15: He was high energy and super playful with tag, but also very gentle the entire time. He did not jump and would approach attempting to play and curl up next to my legs for affection. Per volunteer 7/16 in regard to Dozer and Treston: These two didn't know each other but would have thought they did. They were the perfect friend combo! Dozer was so scared to leave the building. Once outside we met Treston who did an excellent job being patient to having Dozer as a shadow. Treston is calm and walks nicely on leash. He likes to sniff outside and go for a casual walk. Dozer kept up behind. Everything Treston was smelling so was Dozer. Dozer became much more comfortable and the two began to play. Dozer is cuddle motivated and Treston is treat motivated. We cautiously gave treats to the two and both were so patient. Treston would make an excellent foster. He is great with others (people and dog) and his barky kennel presence at times can be off putting. Per volunteer 7/16: Awww this guy is so nice outside his kennel. Has good dog meet. Let me leash him and go out. Pulls a little on the leash at first. Knows sit. So sweet, loves being pet. Very nice boy. Very treat motivated. Per volunteer 7/23: Treston was such a good boy in the car! He was really excited to be out and about but I think the amount of people and dogs are the farmers market was overwhelming for him. He didn't appear aggressive towards dogs but reallllllly wanted to get to them and was becoming over stimulated. Did great with people, knows sit and loves hot dogs
