Meet Jayeda, a gentle and reserved pup who’s navigating her way through the shelter environment with quiet courage. Found as a stray, she’s adjusting to her new surroundings but shows glimpses of her affectionate personality to those who give her time and patience.
Jayeda warms up with a gentle approach. She’ll softly wag her tail, offer sweet sniffs, and even hop into a trusted lap for comfort and kisses. While she’s still nervous with unexpected touches or new experiences, her tolerance and desire for affection are evident.
Eligible for rescue or adoption. Visit Jayeda at ACCT Philly daily, 10 a.m.–6 p.m.
Behavior notes:
Per volunteer 1/5: Jayeda is a sweet girl who calmly got in and out of the kennel. Once she got outside she showed her outgoing personality! She was a tad jumpy, but was easily redirected. Jayeda is definitely house trained and a very sweet girl!
1/4/25 staff notes:
BEHAVIOR EVALUATION: Jayeda
KNOWN HISTORY:
Stray
KENNEL PRESENTATION:
Jayeda was laying on the bed and looked up with wide eyes. She came forward slowly with a tense body and sniffed the leash and was a bit nervous when it went over her head and pulled her head back a little. Once secured she came out slowly.
LEASH SKILLS:
Pulls minimally
HANDLING :
In the room, Jayeda came up to me with a wagging tail and soft eyes. She reached her head up to give some nice sniffs and then walked away. She preferred a lowered approach and gave some sweet wags. She was a bit nervous and cowered away with her ears back when the handler tried to approach her face on. She went to another handler for comfort and jumped up on their lap with mid level wags and gave some nice kisses. She was tolerant of all handling but still a bit nervous with touch she didn't know was going to happen, remaining unsure but sweet towards everything the rest of her eval. When the handler checked her ears and looked at her neck she tried to cower away with tucked wags. When offered a treat to please her she refused and cowered into the handler nervously, soliciting for comfort.
PLAY:
Nervous but somewhat interested – looked up the handler with a low wagging tail
TOYS:
Nervous– interest but no possession
1/3/25 APO staff noted: friendly, allowed me to pick her up Scared of loud noises and was very anxious once we left the park
