‼️ URGENT ‼️ Samaya ACCT-A-257809

👉 for the most up to date notes please click the link in the comments 👈

Samaya ACCT-A-257809 is currently considered urgent and at risk of euthanasia due to length of stay and lack of space for incoming dogs. Samaya must have confirmed placement with a RESCUE PARTNER, FOSTER, or ADOPTER by TUESDAY, SEPTEMBER 1ST at 10AM. Should Samaya's medical or behavioral status change, her urgency and timeline for placement may also change.

Meet Samaya! This sweet, playful girl has been making the most of her time at ACCT Philly, showing staff and volunteers what a fun and affectionate companion she can be. She enjoys getting outside, sniffing and exploring, and especially loves playing fetch with tennis balls and soft squeaky toys. She also enjoys nosework and is quick to learn, happily working for treats—especially hotdogs! Samaya knows “sit” and “drop it” and has generally been easy to leash, walk, and handle.

Samaya has shown interest in other dogs and has participated in several playgroups, where she has demonstrated good greetings and an ability to engage in play. She can get a little pushy when excited, so continued guidance and appropriate introductions will help her succeed. She may also become jumpy or pull a bit when excited, but overall she has been a fun, manageable dog who responds well to her handlers.

Samaya is looking for an adopter or rescue partner who can give her plenty of opportunities for play, enrichment, and continued positive training. She has so much to offer and would love to trade her kennel for a place where she can be someone's playful, affectionate companion. Due to her length of stay, Samaya is urgently seeking placement with a rescue partner, foster, or adopter.

Baloo is 8 years young, roughly 75 lbs (should be like 60/65 ish, working on it). He’s a bit of an anxious guy who takes a minute to settle in but just wants to hang with everyone. He’s good with dogs & cats. Kids might move too fast for him. He’s a snuggle bug and once settled really sleeps most of the day! Adopt Baloo!

If you mix the bunny rabbit with a dog, you'd get Blu! He's a young adult who is social with humans and adores other dogs. He's been to a few of our meet and greet events and he's always the star of the show. He loves attention from everybody and he would make a great addition to almost any home!

‼️ URGENT ‼️ Sasha A ACCT-A-259399

👉 for the most up to date notes please click the link in the comments 👈

**$125 in pledges to the rescue that pulls**

Sasha A ACCT-A-259399 is currently considered urgent and at risk of euthanasia due to behavioral concerns. Sasha A must have confirmed placement with a RESCUE PARTNER by SUNDAY, AUGUST 30TH at 10AM. Should Sasha A's medical or behavioral status change, her urgency and timeline for placement may also change.

Meet Sasha A, a Husky who is looking for a patient rescue partner willing to give her the time and space she needs to feel safe. Sasha A was found as a stray on August 22nd and can be timid and unsure in new situations, benefiting from a slow, low-pressure approach. Sasha A is particularly sensitive to handling around her head, neck, and back. She has flinched, moved away, and snapped in different instances when she felt uncomfortable. Her left eye also appears cloudy, so it is possible that a vision impairment may be contributing to her sensitivity to unexpected touch near that side of her body.

Sasha A has shown some encouraging signs with patient handling. She is easy to leash, takes treats gently from people, and has approached staff to sniff them. Most recently, staff were able to give her short, gentle pets, and she stood calmly beside the handler, though she did not solicit additional interaction. She has also been quite stressed, pacing and panting and showing little interest in treats or food-based enrichment. When meeting another dog, she was tolerant of being sniffed and then moved away.

Sasha A will need a rescue partner experienced with fearful or handling-sensitive dogs who can prioritize predictability, consent-based interactions, and building trust at her pace. With the right support and a patient approach, Sasha A deserves the opportunity to decompress and show more of who she is outside the stress of the shelter environment. Due to her behavioral concerns, Sasha A is urgently seeking placement with a rescue partner.

BEHAVIOR NOTES:
Per staff 8/28:
At the front of the kennel when I approached. Took treats gently through the bars. Easy to leash and came right out of kennel. Mildly pulls on the leash. In the yard she was pacing around, heavy panting and owner searching. She did go up to the other staff member in the yard and sniff them. Sasha was not eating any treats outside. I was able to do short gentle pets. She stood next to me, however did not solicit for more pets. If I wasn't holding the leash she was pacing around the yard. Brought her into the eval room to attempt to clip her leash before returning to kennel. I made up a Licki tray, she licked it once and then stopped. I was able to very slowly clip the leash. She went right into kennel.

Per staff 8/26:
Kennel Presentation: At the front of the kennel with wide eyes, panting, ears forward and tail down not moving.

Leash Skills: Treat lure to leash. Eyes darting walking through the kennel. Nose to the ground once outside. Zig zagging while panting.

Sociability: Asocial. Attempted a few consent pets and she flinched, moving away. Did not solicit for more or eat any treats outside.

Play: N/A

Dog Interaction: Met Smooches. Tolerant of being sniffed and moved away.

Return to Kennel: Due to the note from her check-in about not liking being touched around neck/back of head, staff was cautious. Staff was able to slip up the stopper; however, when staff went to clip the leash, she head whipped and snapped at staff's hand. She went right into the kennel, treats on the ground, and used the Shepherd's hook to remove the leash.

Color Level: Behavior/management at this time

Per staff 8/24:
Friendly to a point, very food motivated, does not like when you touch the back of her head or her back. Bared teeth at handler when he was touching her. Snapped at nurse when she got stuck with syringe. Snapped at handler when he was clipping leash behind her head, possibly due to vision impairment in left eye.

Per staff 8/22:
Timid and needs a slow approach. Shied away from staff at first but approached when staff hunkered down. Tensed up when staff reached out but sniffed staff softly then allowed staff to leash her and lift into van. Gave some low wags upon arrival to ACCT, entered kennel willingly. Nervous panting and seems stressed, but sweet and gentle girl.
