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.

Story
Shadow’s a 2yo 6lb Shih Tzu mix. He’s dog, cat and kid 6+ friendly. He’s house trained when kept on a schedule and is crate trained. He’s good in a secure fenced in yard and/or going for harness leashed walks. He is a known escape artist so will really need to watch him in a yard and needs work on leash walking. He likes playing with toy, especially toys that he can chew on or play tug of war with. He loves to be with his people to cuddle and play/wrestle with other small dogs. He still has a lot of puppy energy. He’s very good with being bathed/groomed/getting nails clipped. Shadow’s foster requires he have another young playful small dog in the home, get daily exercise to help with all his energy and help stimulate him mentally, be allowed to be with his people as much as possible including sleeping in bed with them along with people who are on board to show leadership, consistency, structure and to continue working on training. If your home DOES NOT meet these requirements, please DO NOT put an application in. We will not call anyone whose home does not meet the needed requirements. Also, we will be concentrating on local to foster applications 1st since home checks and meets with all humans and animals in home is needed at meet. Our fosters are all volunteers so aren’t always able to travel too far. Shadow’s neutered, vaccinated, hw negative and microchipped. Currently in Phila, PA. If your home meets the needed requirements and you’re interested in applying to adopt please do so at www.tprescue.org

Story
Meet Miles, a 10-year-old Shih Tzu mix with a sprinkle of Maltese magic, and enough personality to keep you entertained for years. This little man is looking for his chill kingdom—a low-key home where fewer furry roommates roam, and his occasional "grumpy pants" moments are respected. If he gives a little growl, don’t worry—that’s just his way of saying, “Not right now, thanks.” Miles doesn’t do pickups unless he requests it; everything’s on his terms, and that’s part of his charm.The ideal sidekick? A sweet, playful female dog who understands and respects boundaries. Miles thrives on routine and is house-trained as long as you keep him on a schedule. He's fully vetted, neutered, vaccinated, and even had a dental—so his pearly whites are just as charming as his personality.Once a severely matted stray, Miles was scooped up by Peyton's Place Animal Rescue, and he’s since revealed his total softie side. He's the king of cuddles—when he’s ready. His favorite snooze spot? Curled up at the foot of your bed, where he can keep watch. Oh, and did we mention his diva streak? Miles demands to be carried up and down stairs, and trust us—he'll unleash his inner rockstar if you don’t oblige.Despite his quirks, Miles is an absolute sweetheart who just wants a cozy home where he can rule in comfort. Can you offer this spunky senior the royal treatment he deserves? Apply now and meet the most lovable diva around!   ##2207857##
