**$130 in pledges for the rescue that pulls** Howl ACCT-A-166702 is currently considered urgent and at risk of euthanasia due to length of stay and lack of space for incoming dogs. Howl must have confirmed placement with an ADOPTER, FOSTER, or RESCUE PARTNER by Monday, July 8th by 10:00 am. Should Howl's medical or behavioral status change, his urgency and timeline for placement may also change. 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. Meet Howl! This 10 month old pup came in with his sibling Barksley on 6/14 as found strays. During his medical exam, it was noted that he was sweet to the staff and in overall good health. On 6/21 Howl was diagnosed with a doggy cold and was put on antibiotics. PCR test results indicated he was positive for pneumovirus, and Howl was relocated to ISO for recovery. PCR test results from 6/28 are negative and has been moved outside of ISO. He has had good interactions in the shelter with both adoption meets and with other dogs in the shelter. He approaches other dogs calmly and displays almost full body wiggles. However he did have a recent altercation with his brother Howl, he was also given medication to treat wounds he had gotten during their scuffle on 7/3. This sweet pup would love a home that can give him all the snuggles he craves and teach him to be a superstar dog! NOTES: On 7/3 per staff: Very sweet and easy to leash/handle. Did not pull on the leash when taking out for a walk. Howl seems to be very handler orientated and often checks in with his handler. During his dog meet, he remained very loose and wiggly. A very sweet pup! On 7/3 per staff: When we arrived back in kennels, the brothers were found engaged in a fight. It did not seem aggressive in nature but both caused wounds to each other. They have now been separated and will not be rehoused together. Both dogs sat very nicely and allowed all over handling for treatments with loose bodies and wagging tails. Even gave hugs when they were done. On 6/19 per staff: Barksley and Howl were very excitable in the kennel. They were both jumping on the bars, wiggling, and trying to push out. They were difficult to leash due to this and I would recommend putting them on opposite sides of the kennel for leashing to make it easier. No issues returning. Darts around on leash frequently and can be vocal towards people and other dogs. Barksley and Howl were both very social puppies outside. They both ran around playing and greeted multiple people while outside. They both displayed puppy mannerisms and could be mouthy and jumpy, lacking boundaries but responded well when disengaging with them as needed. both allowed all over handling and were very affectionate. During play, Howl was mouthy and jumpy. He did take interest in toys but did not take possession of them. On 6/15 per staff: Meet and greet with larger dog did not go well. Both siblings seemed to be fixated on the larger dog and when we tried to do meets separately both dogs were stress searching for each other.
