My story

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

Starry Moonz is a calm and independent dog who is looking for an adult-only home where he can take things at his own pace. In a quiet environment, Starry is aloof but curious, spending most of his time calmly exploring his surroundings.

Starry is a dog who values his personal space and prefers to keep to himself, making him a great fit for a home where he can relax without the hustle and bustle of young children. He's low-maintenance, gentle, and simply looking for a peaceful place to call home. If you're looking for a quiet and independent companion, Starry Moonz may be the perfect fit for you!

Eligible for rescue and adoption. Meet Starry Moonz at ACCT Philly any day of the week from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.

behavior notes
Starry moon was barking in his kennel when I approached, but in fairness to him- he's also surrounded by a lot of barky buddies! He's a little scared and darty on leash. He curled up next to me underneath the bench when another dog came outside. He was looking at the dog and being vigilant but didn't make any effort to get closer ( and didn't react in any other way). Showed off that he knew "sit and took treats nicely. Was easy to bring back to the kennel and loves peanut butter biscuits.
