Hello there, I`m Melvin! I`m a sweet soul with a dash of goofiness. My curiosity knows no bounds, and I love exploring new places. I`m brave, too! Nothing scares me, except maybe the vacuum cleaner. I`m also smart, I`ve mastered sit, stay, and fetch, and I`m always eager to learn new tricks. I`m energetic and playful, ready to run and play fetch any time you are. I`m a loyal companion, always ready to lend a paw or a comforting nuzzle. I`m just looking for a loving family who appreciates my playful spirit and endless curiosity. Why should you adopt me? Well, I promise to bring joy, laughter, and lots of tail wags into your life. Let`s make some memories together!

I am thankful for Haven`s goofy and silly personality. Despite being in a kennel for most of her day she remains a happy, silly playful girl. Haven`s perfect home would have a yard with toys for her to play with. She can occupy herself for a long time by rolling around in the grass and playing with her toys. She also knows basic commands and is eager to please. Especially if treats are involved! Her perfect person would be someone that wants a loyal companion who will be happy going on walks, getting belly rubs or just cuddling on the couch. Please come meet this beautiful girl, you won`t be sorry!!!!!!

Bleu is a big, beautiful boy with a soft heart to match his size. He greets new friends with gentle eyes and a wagging tail, showing just how much he wants to connect. Once outside, Bleu takes his time stretching his legs and observing his surroundings. He enjoys quiet moments w his people —standing close and soaking up affection, especially when spoken to in a soft, sweet voice. This dreamy, good-natured boy is ready to find someone who will appreciate his gentle soul and give him the love he deserves. Eligible for rescue and adoption. Meet Bleu at ACCT Philly any day of the week from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Videos. Big Boy Bleu on a run: https://youtube.com/shorts/VDaIROTJY2I?feature=shared Behavior notes: 01/31/25 volunteer notes: Bleu is a big boy - but his heart is as big as he is! He’s so easy going & sweet! We hit the parking lot for some outside time, it’s rainy today and he totally took it in stride. Bleu stayed by my side step for step as we picked our walk up into a little trot! He allowed all handling & even let me give him a little smooch on his head. He’s a very good boy! 01/30/2025 staff notes: Bleu got out for some one on one time today. She was curled up on his bed in kennel when I approached, and came forward with soft eyes and a low tail. When I reached in with the leash he gave me some low wags, and was patient for leashing. His hackles came up as he exited, but it may have been due to the dogs reacting around him. Outside he pulled a bit on leash, but it’s mostly due to his size. I sat on the bench and he stood near me, accepting pets with a neutral body and soft eyes. He even did lots of tail wags when I used a baby voice! He got some business done before it was time to go inside. I accidentally hit his paw with the door and he yelped, but allowed me to crouched down and give him some pets and comfort. He did not hold a grudge and gave me more low wags when I apologized in a baby voice. He was hesitant to return to kennel, but entered easily with a little leash pressure and encouragement. He seems to be improving a lot! 01/27/2025 staff notes: Brought Bleu outside for some activity time today. In kennel when I approached Bleu he was alert barking at the front with a high flagging tail. Once he saw the leash though he calmed down and softened a bit. He allowed me to easily place the leash over his head and exited without issue. He pulled moderately on leash but is very strong when he wants to be. In the room Bleu sniffed around for the first several minutes. I held him on leash for awhile until i got to know him better and felt more comfortable. He walked around sniffing, avoiding eye contact and gave some slow low wags when speaking to him. As he walked around he was tolerant to me touching his back. When he walked over by the divider I placed it between us and knelt down letting him approach through the divider. He let me pet him lightly on his sides but gave a lot of lip licks, appeasement wags and did what he could to avoid eye contact with me. I attached a second leash to his so I had a bit more grabbing room and dropped leash letting him be. I went as sat in the chair giving him space and he would slowly come up to me to sniff and investigate. he remained nervous to handling but was tolerant in small spurts so I took things easy and went at his pace. He did however LOVE the freeze dried beef liver treats and perked up when giving them to him. He took them very gently when offered from me and they helped him to gain more confidence around me. Returned to kennel easily without issue. 01/25/2025 staff notes: KENNEL PRESENTATION: Bleu was at the front of the kennel with a high flagging tail and wide, hard eyes. He did some huffing and growled a little, but stopped after a few seconds. I kept my hand high while leashing and was able to leash him ears to snout without issue. Once secured he came out on his own with hackles raised. LEASH SKILLS: Pulls strongly – just due to size HANDLING : In the room, Bleu came into the room with a neutral tail and was scanning the room. He walked around on leash with his main handler and was curious of the other people in the room with neutral eyes and a mid level wagging tail. He would go from being more comfortable with being left alone and looking up, sniffing, and approaching us with a wagging tail and soft us – to then being tense, stiff with wide eyes once he got close enough to us and when he had direct (face on) interaction. He did not take any treats from us and showed no interest in them. He showed no interest in the handlers unless we called him but remained tolerant throughout his eval. The handler used the gate as a barrier for some handling around his side and face. Bleu avoided all eye contact and refused to face her direction. Due to his aloof behavior and certain conflicting demeanor, we decided to put him back to give him more time to regulate himself. PLAY: No interest – did not attempt due to size TOYS No interest 01/24/2025 staff notes: Bleu was at the front of his kennel and when I stopped, he was barking and let out a small growl. A volunteer was there and had treats, she gave him one and then he sat for another. Medical notes: 01/26/2025 medical staff notes: He was able to be fully checked in without any signs of aggression. He does not like his face or mouth touched and when it was he just thrashed his head away.
