My story

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

Goof is a sweet and gentle babe looking for a loving home where he can explore and learn how to manage life with his visual impairment. He walks well on a leash with a little guidance and enjoys exploring the world around him.
In social settings, Goof shines—his wagging tail and relaxed demeanor make him a joy to be around. He warmly greets everyone he meets and loves to engage in play, showing off his happy and social personality.

Goof’s resilience and affectionate nature make him the perfect lil pal for someone willing to provide the guidance he needs. Could you be the one to help Goof navigate life with love and patience?

Eligible for rescue, foster, and adoption. Meet Goof at 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 him.

Behavior notes:
11/16/24 volunteer notes from adoption event: Goof is a snuggly angel who loves lap sitting. Sweet, curious, friendly. He was the star of the show at the TD event and solicited pets, treats, and play bows from other dogs. He is going to be adopted quickly and will thrive in a home with a backyard and someone who is okay with a dog that likes to stay close and underfoot due to his visual impairment.

11/13/24 volunteer notes: Goof and Snoop spend their time in the shelter curled up on a bed together. Goof was excited to meet humans and go outside when we approached the kennels but both dogs were very confused about being on a leash and had to be carried in and out of the kennels. Outside they were much more brave in the dog run, still uncertain at times. They are nothing but sweetness, but they are terrified in the shelter. They did much better once we were out of loud areas and outside they wanted to give kisses and cuddles. Very sweet puppies!

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.
