Meet Winifred, a charming and goofy boy who arrived at ACCT as a stray on 9/7 with an injured front leg. Despite his injury, he's still full of love, especially when treats and pets are involved! Winnifred is looking for a foster or rescue placement where he can rest and heal. If you can offer a warm, caring space to help him on his road to recovery, Winnifred will be forever grateful. Email foster@acctphilly.org to express interest in fostering him! Behavioral: Per volunteer on 9/14: Very easy to leash! He has a hurt front leg so limps on it but it doesn't seem to bother him too much. He walks well and doesn't pull at all on leash. He takes treats super gently! Loves treats. Small gentle boy. He seems to know sit. Very loose with handling, took pets all over. He went back into his kennel no problem. Doesn't put pressure on paw when he's standing but he didn't seem to actively be in pain. Such a smiley sweet boy! Per staff on 9/12: BEHAVIOR EVALUATION: Winifred KNOWN HISTORY: Stray KENNEL PRESENTATION: Winifred had soft eyes and a wagging tail when I approached and jumped up. When I opened the kennel door he got down and allowed me to easily leash him LEASH SKILLS: Pulls minimally HANDLING: Winifred had a quick eval after a dog meet. He allowed all handling and is a very sweet and goofy boy. He was a little nervous at times but warmed up with time and treats. He allowed me to touch his paws, face, teeth and tail- he remained still and sat perfectly as I touched him. Once he warmed up he played and jumped around like a kangaroo.
