Story
Squirrel is a beautiful 10-month-old female Anatolian Shepherd who would be a wonderful fit for a livestock-savvy home or a family with a large yard. She was the runt of her litter and has grown into a gentle, thoughtful, and intelligent young dog. Squirrel has lived with dogs and goats and does very well in a farm or rural setting. She is dog-friendly, calm, and naturally observant, with the classic Anatolian traits of loyalty and independence. Squirrel would thrive in a home that understands guardian breeds and can offer her space to roam, a job to do, or simply room to stretch her legs and enjoy life.

Gru is sweet, affectionate, and LOVES to cuddle despite everything. He walks great on leash, adores treats, and has become the best puppy pal in the shelter. 🐾 He’s strong, loyal, and full of love to give. Gru deserves a family who will never give up on him. Please — don’t let this incredible dog fade away in a shelter. 🐾 Friendly with dogs 🐾 Walks great on leash 🐾 Loves to cuddle 🐾 Up to date on vaccines ⏳ GRU’S TIME IS RUNNING OUT PLEASE HELP THIS BOY HE IS SO CONFUSED TEXT KAREN 4136298152

Meet Mae, URGENT THIS SWEET GIRL WILL NOT DO WELL IN BOARDING, PLEASE HELP! 8 y/o - spayed (HW+ on treatment) apx 60 lbs No cats or very small dogs Foster says: Mae is a loving, loyal, and playful girl who was slated for euthanasia in an overcrowded NC shelter. Mae loves car rides and tearing apart stuffed toys. she always wants to be close by her person (but not quite on top of you). She knows basic commands and does well being bathed. She is well house trained and will communicate that she needs to go outside with restlessness, pointing, and whining. Mae is not vocal unless she has something she needs. She would love most to have access to a yard yet does wonderful in my apartment anyway. Most of her day is spent napping but she is quick to play with you when it is initiated despite her mild arthritis in her back legs. She is tolerant around other social dogs that are medium-large sized, but no small dogs, cats, etc. She will likely do best as the solo pet in the home in a calm, low-moderate activity household. Mae is currently located in a foster home in NC where she was saved and will be transported to the north/northeast when she has a forever home to go to, the foster is in school and can’t take with her. She need help fast! TEXT KAREN 4136298152

Story
Meet Strike DiDonatto (ACCT-A-242711)! Strike is a handsome dog who is looking for his forever home. He's got a lot of energy and loves to play, especially with toys! He enjoys running around in the yard and chasing after balls. Strike is a smart dog who benefits from enrichment activities like frozen Kongs and scent work. Strike is a strong dog, so he needs an experienced handler who can manage his energy. He can get a little jumpy when he's excited, so someone who can provide gentle redirection will be a great match. He's a sweet boy who's eager to please, especially when treats are involved (though he can get a little too excited about them!). Because Strike can get a little overstimulated, ACCT Philly recommends that he go to an experienced handler who can give him all the right ways to get his energy out. Could you be the perfect match for Strike? Meet him at ACCT Philly any day from 10am-6pm! Additional Notes: Per Volunteer 02/14/2026: When I approached him, he came quickly up to the front of the kennel with a wagging tail and excited body language. I easily leashed him and he is incredibly strong on leash – I would recommend a harness for him. Needs a strong handler. In the yard he is high energy and loved to run around. He would chase balls and then run up to me and jump on me pretty forcefully. Will definitely recommend an experienced and stronger dog handler for him. He takes treats out of my hand and isn’t overly treat motivated but will come to me when I get them out. Really enjoys playing with toys. He met another dog through the fence and had a very loose and wiggly body with a mid-level tail. The other dog started to snap at him through the fence and strike didn’t react at all. After he got more comfortable he didn’t act appropriately with treats- I took them out and he jumped up on me repeatedly to try to get them, nipping at my hands. He was overstimulated and jumping up at me. I ended up having to throw a bunch of treats away from me to get him to stop being fixated on me. No more issues after that and he easily went back into kennel for unleashing. Recommend that we bump him up to experienced Blue due to behavior. 02/12/2026: 2/11 Notes from Volunteer: Easy to leash, came right to the front. Pulled Mildly, Jumping on you, Leash biting. Walked right into kennel and unleashed without issue In the pen, strike was curious and explored. I tried to offer him some toys and he briefly tugged on the squeaky toy but when I gave it to him he just dropped it. As I tried getting his attention for a pic he started getting jumpy. It was manageable and we continued walking around the pen. I didn’t drop the leash because of how muddy everything was. After he peed a few times, I tried engaging with him with treats and one or two pets and his jumpiness escalated to leash biting and tugging. He did stop when I tossed a treat. But I didnt have enough treats to feel comfortable staying outside longer with him so we made our way towards the gate entrance. At this point, everytime I stopped to open the gate latches or paused, he kept jumping up and chomping at the leash. Once we started moving he would move on with me like a good boy. Through the kennels, he wasn’t a problem. Seemed like if he didn’t know what to do, he’d start jumping. He was a good boy, otherwise 02/12/2026: Based on behaviors and notes making Blue ACCT Philly is located at 111 West Hunting Park Ave in Philadelphia. We are open for adoptions 7 days a week. Please visit www.acctphilly.org/adopt for details.
