Story
Chewbecca, also known as Chewy is ready to find her perfect forever home! Chewy came to us as a stray, and her hair strongly resembled the true Chewbacca, hence the name. She is a young shih-tzu, estimated to be around 2 years old. . Chewy has a lot of puppy energy. She hasn't seen a toy she doesn't want to play with. Similar to most puppies she is still learning what a toy is and what is not, she takes the redirection easily. After some time playing and getting the zoomies she likes to settle into her dog bed for her afternoon snooze. Chewy walks nicely on a leash and enjoys daily walks, she is also playful in the backyard and would love a yard of her own! A fence is not required, as long as their is a safe space that she can explore outdoors on a leash. Another dog in the house would be great to have a playmate, but she could also be the only dog with the right family. Chewy has not been cat tested, but that can be completed if needed. She has shown some small animal prey-drive in the back yard. Chewy is not a big fan of her crate and would prefer to be snuggled up with her current foster sibling. She does tolerate short stints in the crate without much fuss. She has been fostered with a 1 year old human, and has been great with her. Chewy is UTD on her core vaccines, has been spayed and microchiped. She will require regular grooming to maintain her coat. Kennel License 9117 PO Box 2372 Reading, PA 19608

Story
Coco ACCT-A-213928 is a 7-year-old female who came in as an owner surrender on 2/25 due to behavior. Behavior: On 2/26 staff noted: “We brought Coco out for some activity time today. Coco was in a top sidebank and was very stressed- panting and drooling with dilated eyes. She would not sniff at the handler and remained very stressed. When the handler reached in with the leash she shied away from it but allowed for easy leashing and then came to the front. When the handler went to lift her out she stiffened and appeared uncomfortable and gave a little growl. She then jumped out of kennel on her own and walked well on leash. In the room Coco was very stressed and continued to pant heavily, drool, but stayed close to her handler. She was tolerant to full body petting without issue including touching her paws and checking her teeth, but remained highly stressed in the room.” On 2/25 owner stated: “Pees and poops in house, has bitten 3 adults, and is not good with other dogs. Has bitten people multiple times. Twice bite broke skin. Anytime people come into house rushes the door and tries to bite. Been ongoing about a year. Nothing specific provokes.” Medical: On 3/8 staff noted: “Coco has been observed to have shelter acquired upper respiratory infection (URI), or a "doggy cold". She has been started on medication, and will be monitored for resolution of the respiratory infection. PCR pending” On 2/27 exam staff noted: “Mouth/Teeth/Gums - clean with under bite Coat & Skin - no live fleas, shaved off some artificial constipation. Bright, alert, responsive, skittish, just go slow and use a muzzle to be safe.” On 2/25 exam staff noted: Bright, alert, responsive, stressed, panting, whale eyes Allowed brief exam from Doctor & pets. Defecated when being examined. Both eyes were pink and staff was unable to examine Mouth/Teeth/Gums. - ACCT Philly is located at 111 West Hunting Park Ave in Philadelphia.
