My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Get ready to smile—Meg is a bundle of joy who’s always on the move! This super fun and wiggly girl is full of playful energy. She’ll zoom around, spin in circles, play bow, and hop her way straight into your heart.
Meg loves attention and isn’t shy about asking for it with her happy antics. This sweetie knows "sit" and takes treats gently, showing she’s not just fun but also a smart cookie.
If you’re looking for a playful, affectionate, and endlessly entertaining companion, Meg is your girl!

Eligible for rescue, foster, and adoption. Come meet Meg at ACCT Philly any day of the week from 10:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. and let her brighten your life!

Behavior notes:
01/23/2025 staff notes:
KENNEL PRESENTATION:
Meg was a little nervous for leashing. She was sitting on her bed with wide eyes and the handler crouched down and put the leash in for her to sniff. She slowly came forward and gave some wags. Allowed the handler to slowly leash her ears to snout and then exited easily.

LEASH SKILLS:
Pulls minimally to moderately

HANDLING :
Once in the room meg was so wiggly. She immediately began to zoom around and jumped up on both of us for attention, spinning in circles, play bowing and hopping around. She allowed all over handling and would solicit and was very tolerant. She even allowed me to lift her in the air to check for a spay scar. She showed knowledge of sit and took treats gently when offered. Very wiggly and happy girl!

PLAY:
Engages in play

TOYS
Interest but no possession
