Clownfish

My story

Clownfish is a gentle pup who’s looking for a fresh start and a loving home. This sweet pup was found abandoned at a house, reportedly left behind by an owner who had fallen on hard times. Despite the uncertainty in his past, Clownfish has shown nothing but patience and kindness. He’s curious & calm when meeting new friends and he takes treats gently! Clownfish welcomes pets and handling showing his trust and easygoing nature. Outside, Clownfish walks nicely on his leash and enjoys exploring. Clownfish may have had a rough start, but he’s ready for a second chance. With his calm demeanor, gentle spirit, and trusting nature, he’ll make a wonderful bestie for someone willing to offer him the love and stability he deserves.

He took treats gently and loved to sniff around the yard. Such a sweet boy! Per staff that took Clownfish to playgroup 5/24: Had zero issues throughout. Low energy. PG 5/24: Clownfish was timid and unsure at the gate, steerable and nervous. in the yard he was conflicted with if he should play or freeze and did cute play bows and zooms trying to engage with the other dogs. he was very tolerant of dogs mounting him and took corrections 05/23/2025 volunteer notes: We noticed clownfish had a large chain so we took him out to attempt to remove. I put my leash in the kennel. He was standing at the front. He took a sniff of the leash and seemed interested. I opened the loop more and was able to easily leash him for removal. In the volunteer office, we started to give him treats which he took gently. He allowed handling and petting. We were able to slip the chain off his neck with no issue. He loved exploring the office. He sniffed all around. I took him outside. He mostly loose walked. In the yard, he continued to explore and use the bathroom. He showed no interest in toys or play. He returned to his kennel with no issue. ACCT Philly is located at 111 West Hunting Park Ave in. We are open for adoptions 7 days a week. Please visit www.acctphilly.org/adopt for details.
