Kayno

My story

Kayno is a handsome boy who’s started to show us glimmers of his goofy, gentle spirit. Surrendered by his previous family due to an upcoming move where he couldn't come along, Kayno is stressed in this new shelter environment. In our care, he has been respectful with other dogs and appears house-trained. While he’s currently a bit overwhelmed, he allows handling with some patience and is showing interest in toys, but he's not quite ready to play. He’s looking for a calm, understanding home that can help him decompress and feel safe again. With time and love, Kayno is sure to come out of his shell. Come meet him at ACCT Philly, open daily from 10 am to 6 pm BEHAVIOR: 07/20/2025 volunteer notes: Kennel presentation: Kayno was standing at the front of his kennel with a neutral body, mid/low tail wags, and his eyes were a bit wide and bloodshot (from stress). I opened the kennel door and it took a few tries for me to loop him, I ended up dropping a treat on the ground and that way I was able to lasso him over the head with no issues. Leash: minimal/moderate pulling Handling: In the yard Kayno was very stressed, he was pacing and stress panting and occasionally jumping up towards me. He allowed handling but he seemed a bit uncomfortable towards the backside of him right away. He whipped around pretty fast when I went to pet him on his backside but didn’t do anything just turned away. With some time he did allow all handling. He didn’t have any interest in treats as when I gave them him he spit them out. He did seem to abve interest in squeaky toys but did not pick them up. Returning him to kennel he was super stressed going back in and was lunging towards the kennels. Once he saw his kennel he hopped in with no issues. Play: no interest Toys: interested but did not take possession Color: blue 07/20/2025 staff notes, playgroup: Friendly at gate, loose wags, gentle/dainty in yard, very respectful of other dogs and their space. 07/20/2025 medical staff notes: Energetic goofy but stressed boy. Definitely housebroken, urinated a lot then seemed to cower like he did something wrong. Took treats gently nut wasn't too fond of restraint ACCT Philly is located at 111 West Hunting Park Ave in.
