After a little break in a short-term foster home, Juana is back at the shelter looking better than ever. Her fur is filling in beautifully, and she’s still the same sweet, soulful girl we fell in love with - now with a little post-foster glow-up! Juana has a calm, welcoming kennel presence with soft eyes and an easy-going demeanor. She’s polite on leash, appears house-trained, and enjoys taking care of business quickly so she can focus on what really matters, snuggles! In the yard, she melted into lap cuddles and leaned in for head-to-toe pets. She's gentle, affectionate, and clearly thrives on one-on-one connection. She knows how to sit and takes treats with impressive patience! While she wasn’t super interested in snacks on her most recent outing, her previous notes show she’s definitely food-motivated and polite about it. Juana has had some positive interactions with other dogs, showing neutral to curious body language. She’s more of a people’s pup, preferring affection over play, but she handled intros calmly and kindly. If you're looking for a soft-hearted companion who brings calm, cuddles, and quiet joy, Juana’s your girl. Come meet this sweet soul at ACCT Philly, open daily from 10 am to 6pm and give her the loving home she deserves. VIDEOS Meet Sweet Juana 7/2/25: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/W4THeSsF2Bk BEHAVIOR 07/24/2025 volunteer notes: was surprised to see my gal pal Juana back at the shelter today, but man has she had a glow up. Her fur is growing back and she looks like she had a great break from the shelter while with a short term foster. We took a quick walk out to the yard and she took care of her business - still appears house-trained! She was as warm and gentle as she was when we first met a few weeks ago! allowed all over pets and solicited attention. Didnt express interests in treats today, but she was happy to get some sun on her face and spend time in the yard. 07/03/2025 volunteer notes: very sweet gentle girl. Knows sit and takes treats gently & with patience. Cuddled in my lap when I sat on the ground with her. Very friendly. 07/02/2025 volunteer notes: Juana has great kennel presence. Soft eyes and calm. Allowed leashing, kept her head still. Walked out of eval room calmly and paid no attention to dogs. Outside we tried a face to face dog meet with Oreo. She stayed neutral- low tail, no wags but generally walked in the other direction from Oreo. Allowed Oreo to sniff her and remained still/ stiff. Another dog came up to her at the fence later and she had low tail wags and pulled forward to sniff the other dog with good, neutral body language. She seemed more enthusiastic about this dog and when he walked away she stayed by the fence and scratched playfully at it. Outside she loves cuddles and is gentle. She approaches me and nudged for more pets and would lean into me while I pet her on her head and body. Walks with a loose leash. Appears house trained! Easy to return. She is very food motivated but never snatchy. She’s polite and sits for treats, taking them gently. MEDICAL 06/28/25 : QAR, friendly girl, shy, knows how to sit and takes treats very gently.
