Amaya

My story

Meet Amaya! A curious and independent girl who enjoys exploring her surroundings at her own pace. While she may not seek out attention right away, she is super friendly once engaged and is tolerant of handling. Amaya can be selective about her dog friends and is currently looking for an adult-only home where she can take her time settling in and adjusting to home life again. With patience and understanding, Amaya is sure to flourish into a loving and loyal companion. Eligible for rescue and adoption. Meet Amaya at ACCT Philly any day of the week from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Video: Pepsi, touchdown, max jones, Amaya playgroup: https://youtube.com/shorts/CxtJX_KcJ-g?feature=shared Amaya, Touchdown, and Max Jones drop leash: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tkl4yHfLrhw Kuma, Amaya, Touchdown, and Max Jones drop leash: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JUsXpu2zuQ4 Pepsi, Amaya, Touchdown, and Max Jones drop leash: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1EfoJxrWjj4 Walking with Amaya https://youtube.com/shorts/xZxeYszetWc?feature=shared Amaya knows sit https://youtube.com/shorts/NhBssBeY-OU?feature=shared Amaya and Allie meet: https://youtube.com/shorts/HXj1XDwxTBc?feature=share Amaya and Marz meet: https://youtube.com/shorts/VG0MTuGVkPk?feature=share Behavior notes 02/23/2025 volunteer notes: Amaya is a sweet older gal who is polite and gentle. We got outside for some sunshine and fresh air together and she was happy to be out and about. We walked laps around the parking lot and she stayed right by my side. When we stopped to chat with some other volunteers she laid right down and was happy to chill by my side. She allowed all over handling and even surprised me with a little kiss on the nose after some good scritches. Love her! 02/14/2025 staff notes: KENNEL PRESENTATION: Amaya was a neutral body and wouldn't allow overhead leashing while she continued to sniff it. She was good at leash dodging and began shaking it off. The handler had to lasso her and once secured came right out. LEASH SKILLS: Pulls moderately HANDLING : In the room, Amaya was neutral with a mid level tail and an open mouth. She sniffed around curiously and didn't pay much attention to the handlers. She was super friendly when we did get her to interact with us. She did not take any treats nor showed knowledge of tricks. She was tolerant of all handling and tried to move away while we attempted to touch her feet but remained neutral.
