My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Lucky is the sweetest, most gentle girl. She is super easy going and doesn't pull on the leash and loves to snuggle up in your arms.

Lucky is currently eligible for rescue, foster and adoption. Head to ACCT Philly any day of the week from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., or email foster@acctphilly.org to express interest in fostering her!

Behavioral:
Per volunteer on 9/8: Lucky is the sweetest, most gentle girl. She is super easy going and doesn't pull on the leash. She is eager to play with dogs through the fence, and loves to snuggle up in your arms. She is trying her best to stay house broken, and relieves herself as soon as we go outside. You will absolutely fall in love!

Per Staff on 9/5:
BEHAVIOR EVALUATION:

KNOWN HISTORY:
Stray

KENNEL PRESENTATION:
Lucky was in a sidebank due to space. She was lying down with her face by the door. The handler crouched down and she had wide eyes but was avoidant of eye contact and was lip chattering. She was easy to leash though and exited without issue.

LEASH SKILLS:
-Pulled minimally, housebroken

HANDLING:
In the yard Lucky was a bit nervous but had wide soft eyes and mid level wags. It took her a few minutes to warm up but after checking out the yard she was much looser and would approach both of us. She allowed all handling and continued to wag when being touched on her back and sides. She showed interest in treats but would not take any when offered.

PLAY
No interest

TOYS:
No interest
