Just like his namesake drink, Soda is sweet, a great addition to any party, and time with him is a crisp breath of fresh air! Soda is a very wiggly and playful boy, looking for his playmate for life. Soda loves to romp, play, cuddle, and eat, and is an all around very good boy! Soda is now available for adoption and foster at ACCT Philly. You can meet him any day from 10am-6pm. Interested fosters should email foster@acctphilly.org.

He was so much fun! We went on a hike in the Wissahickon, which he really seemed to enjoy. He did lots of sniffing and even went for a swim. He was completely non-reactive to other dogs, people, children, bikes, and even a horse that passed by on the trail, and probably would've preferred to say hi them all. After the hike, he enjoyed a cheeseburger and an ice cream cone. He is extremely strong and definitely needs to work on leash skills (he pulls a lot) so his adopter should be prepared to engage in formal training, but this guy is worth the effort! Per Volunteer 9/21/24: obsessed with this super wiggly playful boy! Very wiggly and excited when I approached his kennel, I leashed him easily although he was jumping up on the door out of excitement! He pulled quite a bit to get outside, he moves more quickly than I expected with his chunky lil body! He waited to go potty until we got outside then had a very long pee- may be housetrained. Out in the play yard he was SO playful! He loved romping around, loved chasing toys. He liked to jump up on the obstacles in the play yard and run around. He jumped up on me a few times but was gentle about it. He loves treats! He is extremely treat motivated- when I first got the bag of treats out he tried to jump up at my hands, but I said sit and he sat immediately and took the treats super gently. He did the A frame when I dropped treats over it. He was pretty clumsy and uncoordinated, it was very cute! He took pets all over and was very affectionate. He laid down for a while next to the tunnel then slowly started crawling into it like a silly boy. I had the best time with this goofball! Per Staff 9/17/24: BEHAVIOR EVALUATION: KNOWN HISTORY: Stray KENNEL PRESENTATION: Soda was timid in kennel. He was standing by the door with wide soft eyes, ears back, and low wags. He sniffed the leash but did do some leash dodging. The handler was able to lasso him and once lassoed he came out easily. LEASH SKILLS: Pull minimally HANDLING: In the yard Soda explored and walked around giving some low wags. He said hi to both of us with soft eyes and low wags and then wandered off to sniff around. He then ran back over to us soliciting attention and hopped up on my lap. He allowed all handling and was very affectionate, giving kisses.
