Big Al

My story

Meet Big Al with a Big ole heart of gold! Big Al was found as a stray by police and transported to the shelter. We don't know too much about him but we know he's a laid back boy who loves his people! Big Al has won over the hearts of volunteers and staff with his gentle cuddles and frequent "paw". He just loves holding hands to make the people around him feel loved. Big Al is now looking for a forever home where he can spend the rest of his days. Meet him at ACCT Philly any day from 10am-6pm!

He didn’t get up but leaned forward to allow me to leash him, then hopped right out of the kennel. Leash: He’s a big boy and pulls a bit on leash, but it’s very manageable! Handling: Outside in the yard, he spent most of the time sniffing around. We were in the pouring rain and he didn’t seem to mind. Wasn’t very interested in treats. Took pets from me with a calm and loose body and allowed all handling. Not interested in treats or toys that I saw. Very low energy, just gave a few tail wags when getting pets. Inside he was chill and just wanted to hang by my side getting pets. He doesn’t know paw on command but randomly liked putting his paw in my hand and holding hands, such a sweet boy!
