Sandman ACCT-A-207630 is currently considered urgent and at risk of euthanasia due to medical concerns. Sandman must have confirmed placement with a RESCUE PARTNER, FOSTER, or ADOPTER by THURSDAY, DECEMBER 5TH at 10AM. Should Sandman’s medical or behavioral status change, his urgency and timeline for placement may also change.
Sandman was brought to the shelter as a stray on November 21st. The finder was unable to contact the owner on his collar, so they brought him to the shelter for medical treatment. At first, he was a bit stressed and fractious, but he has since shown us how friendly he truly is! Sandman might have been through some sleepless nights on the streets, but with the right love he’ll be resting easy in no time. Sandman has been diagnosed with an upper respiratory infection and hyperthyroidism which both require treatment. Though he’s a bit rough around the edges right now, with some care and attention, he’ll become the loving companion he’s meant to be. Due to his medical concerns, Sandman is urgently seeking placement with a rescue partner, foster, or adopter.
MEDICAL:
On 11/2, Sandman was diagnosed with an upper respiratory infection (URI) and started on medication. His bloodwork revealed hyperthyroidism and mild hyperglobulinemia. He was prescribed methimazole for his hyperthyroidism and doxycycline for his URI. If adopted, Sandman should have a follow-up with an outside vet in 3-4 weeks for repeat bloodwork, or sooner if he is not doing well.
On 11/26, Sandman was noted to have abdominal effort and received a vet exam. He was very sweet, purring throughout the exam, but did not allow the vet to examine his mouth. His corneas were clouded, but there were no other concerns. Thoracic and abdominal x-rays were performed, which were unremarkable. His blood was drawn for a full panel of bloodwork.
During his intake exam on 11/23, Sandman’s ears were slightly dirty, he had heavy staining on his teeth and a bump on his gum, and he had a small spot of hair loss on his neck, but no fleas. He was bright, alert, responsive, and fractious.
During a triage exam on 11/21, Sandman was very vocal, and although initially friendly, he became moderately fractious shortly into the exam. His eyes had mild discharge and clouded lenses, and he was also underweight. He was prescribed gabapentin to help him settle and allow for further examination.
BEHAVIOR:
Per staff 12/2: Sandman is clearly not feeling well right now. He is very congested and when I pet him I could feel all the bones in his spine. He leaned his head into my hand for pets.
Per staff 11/25: Extremely friendly and loves pets. A very sweet gentleman!!
Due to being significantly overcapacity with animals and higher than usual intake, extensions are unlikely to be granted. If you are interested in an animal please contact ACCT Philly immediately. Due to limited space, timestamps may also be proceeded with early so it is imperative to let us know if you are considering adopting or tagging an animal.
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.
If you are a rescue interested in pulling this animal, please email our lifesaving team, or visit here if you are not currently a rescue partner: https://acctphilly.org/acct-philly-love-local-partnership-program/
Confirmed placement is considered a confirmation of an actual rescue pull. Possible placement, interested parties, and other "TBD" statuses are not considered confirmed and do not indicate an animal is no longer urgent.
All animals at ACCT Philly are from Philadelphia, as the only open-intake animal shelter in Philadelphia, we are not able to accept animals from outside of Philadelphia. ACCT Philly's Pennsylvania kennel license number is 08313.
**$467 in pledges to any rescue that may pull!**
