Star Sky

My story

Star Sky came to ACCT Philly after his long-time owner was unable to continue caring for him. Described as playful, observant, and friendly, Star had lived with his family and was deeply loved, but circumstances beyond their control brought him to the shelter. Since arriving, Star Sky has been a social, upbeat presence. He’s proven to be friendly with people, children, and other dogs, and volunteers have noted how much he enjoys toys—especially squeaky ones—and time outdoors. Star Sky is independent but still checks in with his people for affection and reassurance. He knows commands like “sit” and “down,” walks with some pulling on leash, and is fully crate trained. During shelter handling, he’s shown a loose, wiggly body and soft eyes, indicating a relaxed and trusting demeanor.

He pulled a lot but eventually eased up. He has a lot of energy and is all muscle! He mostly focused on the walk and didn't pay me much attention but when we ran into another staff member he got super excited to see her! She knew him and it was sweet to see him react so positively to a friendly face :) 07/06/2025 Per volunteer 7/6: Star Sky loves to play! He had so much fun in the yard enjoying squeaky toys and playing fetch! He also seems to be quite independent. While he checked in with me every once in a while, he was content sniffing and frolicking around the yard on his own. He also seemed to have a positive interest in other dogs. With a loose body, he would whine and follow along the gate as they passed by. 06/30/2025 Loose and wiggly with low tail wagging, ears back and soft eyes in the crate. Quiet.
