Meet NACHO! He's a 4yr old Playgroup Rockstar! Nacho was very shutdown when he first arrived to the shelter, but has really come out of his shell with the help of new shelter friends!
Nacho was found as a stray in a school yard on 12/21. He was brought to safety by police who described him as friendly and nice!
Want to meet Nacho? Come to ACCT any day from 10am-6pm. He's also eligible for Foster - email Foster@ACCTPhilly.org
Nacho's ideal home would be without children younger than 12 due to his notable fearfulness when he arrived to the shelter.
NOTES from Shelter Friends --
Per Staff 12/26:
Nacho was standing at the front of his kennel giving me fast mid level wags and wiggling. He was patient and let me slip my leash on without issue. Nacho did great for check in! He was a bit nervous but approached both NAs with low wags and allowed all handling. He was a fan of cheese and we were able to get all his vaccines in without issue while he licked cheese off the door.
Per Staff 12/22 - Behavior Evaluation:
Nacho slowly walked around the eval room with a low tail, lowered body, and soft eyes. He would come and sniff us but avoid eye contact and shy away from pets. I did give him a brief scratch which he allowed and then he walked away. He would follow us when we walked around the room and was interested in what we were doing. He sniffed some treats but didn't end up taking them. He gave some low wags when I spoke to him in a baby voice and I gave him some scratches which he allowed. He also allowed petting from a new handler that entered the room, and stuck closeby to them. He's a shy boy but likes to just be nearby and know what's going on!
