Story
Jinx is the absolute best dog in the world. I am so distraught to be rehoming her because she is so special, but I love her so much that I want to do what’s best for her. My job currently has me working crazy hours and she is home alone all day. I am in a long distance relationship and travel on weekends so I leave her with a friend. She is very easy and extremely tolerant of the lifestyle I have,but I can tell she would be so happy with someone who has time to take her more places and spend more time at home with her. She absolutely LOVES people. She’s outgoing and EXTREMELY OBEDIENT. She’s great with children and has never hurt a human. However, she does not like other animals. She is an American Akita, so her hunting instincts kick in. She needs a home with no other animals. She is 6 years young. She loves attention and cuddling, and she also is bark-less. She never barks at people or animals. I want to find her a home with someone who is attentive, loving, and will keep her active.

Story
Jinx was rescued in Texas and has lived with me for 6 years but unfortunately, due to life events, I’ve been displaced by my job and home and can no longer keep her under a roof. Jinx is an incredibly friendly and loving to dog to all people never once has she hurt a person. She’s playful when you want her to be and a couch potato otherwise. One of her best features is her beautiful wolf like appearance that she has and her large size of 100lbs! Everywhere she goes she catches the eyes of so many people. She has many talents and rare character traits not seen commonly in dogs like that she is a barkless dog meaning she won’t make a sound in your home and she’s intelligent so she knows many commands and tricks! She has to find a home before Friday Aug 2nd otherwise she will have to be surrender to a shelter. Please consider Jinx as your new friend and loving pet

Story
You don't need to be vegetarian to love our gal Tofu!! Tofu is a female adult Akita who was found as a stray and described by her finders as friendly. She is true to her breed where she enjoys exploring and patrolling the outside and seeing other doggos. She's not as much of a cuddler but is a very gentle companion! Tofu is available for adoption and foster at ACCT Philly. You can meet him any day from 10am-6pm. Interested fosters should email foster@acctphilly.org. Behavior: Per volunteer 8/7/24: Tofu is a super sweet girl! She was super good going in and out of her kennel and walked so good on leash. In the run she saw another dog walking by and that was the first time I really saw her personality come out! She got super excited to see the other dog walk by! In the run she mostly just sniffed around. She did come to me a few times for some pets but seemed to be enjoying just walking around and sniffing. Per Staff 8/7/24: BEHAVIOR EVALUATION: KNOWN HISTORY: Stray KENNEL PRESENTATION: Tofu was good in kennel and easy to leash. She came to the front with soft eyes and wags, but was also lip licking a lot for leashing! She remained loose bodied and wiggly while the handler placed the leash over her head. No issues exiting or returning LEASH SKILLS: Pulls minimally HANDLING: In the yard Tofu was wiggly and very easy to handle. She was mild mannered and explored the yard. She would then come over to us with mid level wags and soft eyes. She allowed all handling and was very tolerant, but didnt lean in much. She took treats gently when offered and showed knowledge of sit. PLAY: Engaged in play TOYS: Interest but no possession. ACCT Philly is located at 111 West Hunting Park Ave in Philadelphia. We are open for adoptions 7 days a week. Please visit www.acctphilly.org/adopt for details. If you are a rescue interested in pulling this animal, please email our lifesaving team, or visit here if you are not currently a rescue partner: https://acctphilly.org/acct-philly-love-local-partnership-program/ Confirmed placement is considered a confirmation of an actual rescue pull. Possible placement, interested parties, and other "TBD" statuses are not considered confirmed and do not indicate an animal is no longer urgent. All animals at ACCT Philly are from Philadelphia, as the only open-intake animal shelter in Philadelphia, we are not able to accept animals from outside of Philadelphia. ACCT Philly's Pennsylvania kennel license number is 08313

Story
Hello there, I'm Max, a seasoned Akita with a heart full of love. My days are filled with friendly tail wags and curious sniffs around my humble abode. I've got a mellow demeanor, but don't let that fool you, I'm quite the smarty. I've learned a lot in my years and I'm eager to share my wisdom. I'm the kind of dog who appreciates the simple joys of life. A warm bed, a good meal, and a kind hand to pat my head are all I need to be happy. My golden years are just as golden as my spirit. I'm looking for a forever home where I can share my love and wisdom. Adopt me and let's make beautiful memories together.

Story
Hello, I'm Bruno, a senior Akita with a heart full of love. I'm a friendly chap, always ready to share a goofy joke or a funny antic. My loyalty knows no bounds, and I promise to be your most faithful companion. I'm a bit of an old soul, but that just means I've got plenty of wisdom to share. I love lazy afternoons, belly rubs, and the joy of companionship. I might be a senior, but my spirit is young. I'm full of life, love, and laughter. Adopting me means gaining a friend who will stick by your side through thick and thin, always ready to brighten your day with a wagging tail and a warm nuzzle. So, how about it? Will you give this old dog a new leash on life?
