My story

Meet Buddy….he’s hoping to be your, well… buddy! Buddy is at the shelter with his sister Nike due to housing issues. They have been in and out of the shelter and recently found tied to a tree- which has been stressful for them. Luckily- they have each other! Although a tall ask, these dogs have been noted to be bonded. Living and sleeping in the same kennel- these dogs find comfort in each other. They have been noted to be well-mannered, trying to stay housetrained and affectionate dogs. Do you have room in your home, and heart, for two silly, sweet dogs? Come meet them at ACCT today! Open 10am to 6pm VIDEOS: Buddy and Nike go for a walk: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/L0Av7iB7Xew Buddy and Butch Drop Leash: https://youtube.com/shorts/uybWosUwHuA?feature=share BEHAVIOR NOTES: Per volunteer 7/26: Ian and I took Nike and Buddy out together for a run. Nike wasn’t feeling her best but proved to be very happy to be out with her kennel mate. She needed a few rest breaks and appreciated pets and treats. She doesn’t mind Buddy jumping all over her with enthusiasm. She goes with the flow and is very relaxed. Buddy is hilarious. He jumped up on Ian for pets and attention.he is friendly and has a big personality. Buddy loved being outside and running. He loved spending time outside with Nike. 07/20/2025 staff notes: Kennel presentation: Laying on a blanket, stood up with low tail wagging and ears to the side when I showed the leash. Easy to leash Leash skills: Pulls moderately. When passing by dogs pulls gently towards them and whines with ears forward and middle tail. Sociability: Friendly and social to the handler, gets very wiggly and loose when doing baby talk. Able to touch all over while he remained loose and wiggly. Takes treats gently. Play: did not do Dog interaction: When passing by dogs pulls gently towards them and whines with ears forward and middle tail. Color level: Exp gold 07/18/2025 volunteer notes: As the last dogs before Friday closing, Ian and I took out the 2 dogs that are kenneled together, Nike and Buddy. Both of them were very excited to get out, and we had no issues leashing them. We separated them to leash them by calling Nike to the back side of the kennel and lowering the divider. Buddy is a big boy, and is strong, so does some pulling while female Nike just tries to keep up with him. Once they were outside, they both relieved themselves, proving they are housetrained. Due to time constraints, we were only able to do a couple of laps around the parking lot. They are very happy dogs, very well-mannered, just excited to be outside. They're kenneled together and we had no issue putting them back in in the kennel. MEDICAL NOTES: ACCT Philly is located at 111 West Hunting Park Ave in Philadelphia.
