*Rest easy, good boy. RIP
Bando
ACCT-A-219983 is currently considered urgent and at risk of euthanasia due to length of stay and lack of space for incoming dogs. Bando must have confirmed placement with a RESCUE PARTNER, FOSTER or ADOPTER by
WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 20TH at 10AM.
Should Bando's medical or behavioral status change, his urgency and timeline for placement may also change.
Bando originally arrived at ACCT Philly on May 10th after being found tied up outside the shelter. Despite his uncertain
circumstances, Bando immediately showed us how sweet he is-described as "verryyy friendly" upon intake. He was adopted later that month, but was surrendered back to the shelter on July 24th due to time constraints. He was adopted again on August 12th, but was returned two days later due to landlord issues.
Bando is a big-hearted guy who's eager to bond, especially through play and affection. He presents as a playful, affectionate, and energetic pup who may need a little guidance on his manners.

While in his kennel, he can appear tense and reserved, but once outside, he becomes a loose, wiggly, and social dog who loves attention. Many of the notes from his daily walks refer to him as a "good boy." He shows interest in toys-especially soft ones-and has taken possession of them in a calm, playful way. Bando is also very food motivated, which will help tremendously in continuing his training.
He's shown signs of housetraining, relieving himself promptly once outside.
He's been noted to be a bit jumpy and mouthy at times, typical of a young dog with enthusiasm to spare, so he would do best in a home where any children are over the age of 12. Bando has met other dogs at the shelter and done well, so please bring any resident dogs along for a meet! Due to his length of stay, Bando is urgently seeking placement with a rescue partner, foster, or adopter.

Per staff 8/14: High FAS (fear, anxiety, stress) in crate upon return, requesting meds.
Per owner surrender notes 8/14: Bando is a
"Good boy, loves exercise and play time, needs active home." He was mostly housetrained, crate trained, and knows the commands sit, stay, and down. He is high energy, pulls on leash, and is "mouthy but very playful, never aggressive." He enjoys chew toys, is kind/gentle towards strangers, gentle with kids, and gentle/ calm around dogs. He had not been around cats. His ideal home would have a yard.
Per owner 8/14: He's a bundle of joy. He's super energetic but knows when to be calm. He loves love, to play, and to exercise! [The only behavior concerns are] strength/pulling on leash, and needs chew/ jaw enrichment.

Per volunteer 8/10: Crazy, loves to play, very sweet.
Per volunteer 8/3: Strong on leash but very sweet.
Per staff 8/3, playgroup: Bando was rough/ rowdy and a bit pushy with play. He is a big boy and was body slamming the other dogs playfully. Had good greetings and was a lot of puppy energy.
Per volunteer 8/1: Very crazy but a sweet boy. Knows fetch!
Per volunteer 7/29: Bando did a lot better today coming out of kennel.

I love moles! They are bizarre little aliens with baseball mitt hands, a pig snout that moves like an elephant’s trunk, human-ish looking feet, a mouthfull of tiny needle sharp bat teeth, the softest fur you’ve ever touched, no eyes and they smell like ranch flavored potato chips. It’s like Nature built them with spare parts!😂

spiders avoid humans and aren’t dangerous in most cases 🕷️

if you see one indoors, calmly relocate them instead of killing

they’re not out to get you — they’re just trying to live. be kind to all kinds 🩷
