Meet Capone, who is scheming to steal you heart! This sweet boy was found as a stray dog in Philly, looking emaciated and not well cared for. He was brought to the shelter and is now hoping a kind human can scoop him up and give him the love (and meals) he deserves. Capone 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.

Very food motivated, instinctively sits when there's treats around. Tugged moderately when leashed, but not too bad. Didn't want to go back in the kennel at first but went in for a treat. Very good boy!! Per Volunteer 9/13/24: Greeted me very wiggly and attentive at the front of hsi kennel! He was very patient and still for leashing, he pulled a bit to get out of the shelter. Loves treats! He didn't really know how to take them from my hand, even when I had an open palm sometimes he would take them by taking a full finger in his mouth. he never bit down fully but definitely needs some training with manners with his human pals! But such a loose and wiggly boy. He's also emaciated so likely contributes to him taking treats more excitedly. When i sat on the bench he got right on my lap for cuddles. he took pets all over and enjoyed the interaction. Not much interest in toys that I noticed. I leveled him up to the gold volunteer status just due to the way he takes treats. Super sweet boy and very adoptable!! Per Staff 9/11/24: BEHAVIOR EVALUATION: Capone KNOWN HISTORY: Stray KENNEL PRESENTATION: Capone was standing in front of his kennel with soft eyes and a wagging tail. He was whining to come out and pushed his nose through the crack but was easily leashed and came out perfectly. LEASH SKILLS: Pull minimally HANDLING: Capone came out to the yard with a very wiggly body and a sweet angel face. He is a very sweet and nice baby but watch your fingers as this very skinny boy is snatchy. He knows sit and will do anything for treats. He is very social and kind hearted baby, making sure to greet everyone. He was very loose and allowed all handling.
