Meet Peach! Peach is very excited to go to her forever home to play fetch. She is so good at fetch that she has learned how to play fetch by herself! If you have the opportunity to meet Peach this is a trick you will definitely want to see. When she is finished playing she will definitely want some snuggle time; she is one of the sweetest dogs ever! Peach was pulled as part of “Angel Retreat’s ACCT’s of love” program. She was scheduled to be euthanized due to lack of space at an extremely overcrowded and underfunded urban shelter. We were honored to step in and give this mama and her 2 puppies a happy ending. Peach is a 3 year old boxer mixed breed who is simply wonderful! She came in with her two puppies (Pac Man and Bolt) after they were surrendered to the shelter by the next door neighbor. Peaches and her puppies had been living outside in their backyard all alone, after their former owner was arrested by the police. The next door neighbor had been feeding them, but decided they needed a real home and brought them into the shelter. Mama Peaches is absolutely phenomenal! She is easy going, sweet, has great manners in her foster home. She is very dog and people friendly, and greets anyone with a tail wag. She walks great on a leash, and is an absolute gem❣️ If you are interested in being considered for them please apply on our website at www.angelsretreat.org 💕🐾 If you are interested in learning more or contributing about our “ACCTs Of Love” program please go to the following link: https://www.angelsretreat.org/accts-of-love/

** New Videos & Notes 2/2 ** Jex ACCT-A-211602 is currently considered urgent and at risk of euthanasia due to lack of space for incoming dogs, and length of stay. Jex must have confirmed placement with an RESCUE PARTNER, FOSTER or ADOPTER by Monday, February 3rd at 10 A.M. Should Jex's medical or behavioral status change, his urgency and timeline for placement may also change. Jex is a 2-year-old male who came to ACCT as an owner surrender on 1/18 due to homelessness. According to his owner, Jex is "not good with other animals but does well with strangers and is great with kids". They also noted that his favorite food is "Kibbles 'n Bits, but he won’t eat if his food isn’t moist and can be picky with foods". His owner described him as "hyper, housebroken", and knowing the command “sit.” While at ACCT, he has been described as a sensitive guy who needs a patient adopter to help him feel safe. Though he may seem uncertain at first, his curious and gentle nature shines through with time and patience. Jex doesn’t need a hex to win your heart—just one look into this sweet, shy boy’s eyes, and he’s got you. Due to his length of stay, Jex is timestamped and would thrive as the only pet in an understanding home, preferably with no kids due to his fearfulness, with someone who can help him build trust at his own pace. If you’re looking for a rewarding connection with a pup who truly needs a second chance, Jex is ready to meet you.

Per volunteer 2/2: Jex is in need of a very special adopter who will understand he may need a long decompression period, not because he is aggressive, but because he is very nervous. There are times he shakes in his kennel, and the first time I took him out, he was trembling as we walked outside. I have taken Jex out several times hoping that as we interacted, he’d relax a little. Unfortunately, he is still very nervous and exit-seeks whether we are in the yard or in a room. I know there is a confident dog in there, but we are running out of time. I have no issue leashing him – I step into his kennel, leash him, and he doesn’t balk or move away. Once leashed, he sets a fast pace leaving his kennel and walking outside, tail usually tucked. He pulls which I assume is in an effort to stay far from me. In the yard, he heads right to a corner or to the gate and just stands there waiting to leave or paces searching for an exit. I’ve walked him up the street thinking that might relax him, but it hasn’t helped. On Friday, I gave him a longer leash and we did loops in the parking lot. I feel he wasn't pulling as much and liked the distance from me that this gave him. He is trying to stay housetrained and he does know the sit cue. And he likes hotdogs and the dog food The Farmer’s Dog. The past 2 days, I made sure to add some of that food to his dry b/c he wasn’t eating the plain dry food. I felt like I made progress when he ate hotdogs from me on Friday. And Saturday he ate The Farmers Dog food from my hand. He tolerates gentle pets, but doesn’t seem to enjoy them. He has no interest in toys, nor treats. A lot of shy nervous dogs feel better in their kennel, so Sat afternoon I closed the divider in the kennel, since he retreats to the other side, and I sat on the edge of his kennel. He ate some of The Farmers Dog food from my hand and tolerated my few pets, but nothing else improved. For the most part he tried to keep away from me. https://youtube.com/shorts/-t4OtBVKXxI?si=wJMwxd5HmOSeeaJA He had a dog meet Saturday; he was well behaved meeting a young puppy, so he may be able to live with another dog, but one that matches his calm energy. https://youtube.com/shorts/gtSqafzlyos?si=DsN3P4jXWW-RHBVm If you’re looking for a dog who truly needs a special friend, and you can offer him a calm environment, Jex needs you. On 1/28/2025 Per Walksheet notes: Mild issues getting out of the kennel. Pulls on leash and was scared but is a good boy. On 1/26/2025 Per Walksheet notes: Was noted to be shaking outside but could open up soon and was tolerant to handling. On 1/24/2025 Per Walksheet notes: Jex was noted to have stepped into leash no issues getting through kennel or back in. Very shy and low energy. Okay during meet with another dog, Debby. On 1/21/2025 Jex came down with an upper respiratory infection and was started on Doxycycline. PCR came back negative. On 1/19/2025 Per Walksheet notes: No issues getting out and through kennel but moderate issue getting him back in and had to use clip method to return. They described him as very shy and low energy. 01/19/2025 staff notes: Jex was laying on his bed with scared wide eyes. He did not move from that spot so I threw the leash in for him to sniff. He sniffed it curiously and then came forward. He was easy to leash and came right out. Pulls minimally/moderately on the leash. In the room, Jex was very avoidant with a tucked tail and began exit searching. He tried to climb the table, the door and pawed at the window. He avoided eye contact with both handlers and wouldn't acknowledge us. In spurt I was able to do some handling and he remained tolerant but was unsure. He gave some side eye and would freeze at times but got a little more comfortable with time, allowing more handling but on a lower level. He was nervous with me being over him and would freeze and then back up. With time and patience he allowed all handling and would become more tolerant. No interest in play but minimal interest in toys but did not take possession. On 1/18, during the initial intake exam, Jex was noted to have dirty ears, minimal staining on teeth, but overall bright, alert, responsive and noted to be nervous and slightly flighty but allowed the exam. Due to being significantly overcapacity with dogs and cats 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 a dog or cat. Confirmed placement is considered 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. 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. 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.
