Tanka

My story

Meet Tanka- her ears might be the first thing you see, but there’s so much more to this dog! Tanka was surrendered to the shelter with her fur sibling when her owner was facing housing problems. Here are some things we think we know about Tanka: She’s House Trained! She has lived with dogs and children. She likes hot dogs and giving kisses. If Tanka sounds like a dog your speed- come meet her today! ACCT Philly is open day 10am-6pm. She'll be patiently waiting to meet you! Video: Behavior Notes: Per staff 7/4/25: I had a new volunteer take Tanka out. She was eager to get out of her kennel and used her head and muzzle to try to get out before leashing, but was luckily leashed right before her body left the kennel. She pulled moderately on leash through the kennel and tried to pick up every morsel of food on the floor. Once in the yard, she mainly stayed with me and her handler and wanted to be pet. She allowed all over petting and handling, sat nicely for treats, and even propped her two front paws onto my lap and laid her head on me while on the bench. She walked nicely back through the kennels and needed a treat to go back into her kennel. Volunteer 7/2: Tanka was easy to leash and take out. Outside, Tanka went bathroom right away - she appears house trained and her previous owner noted she was as well. Overall during our time together she was pretty calm. She liked my hotdog treats and was enthusiastic, but not overly snatching. Jumped up on the bench to give me some kisses. She seemed to really enjoy a walk and to be a curious dog who liked looking around. She could be a good dog running club buddy - she moves at a good pace!
