Rey

My story

Rey is a mellow sweetheart who’s still learning to trust but shows glimmers of connection with every quiet moment. When you approach him, he'll rise gently to greet you, ears relaxed, tail softly wagging, and a look that says he’s curious, just a little cautious. Once outside, Rey stays close and engaged, enjoying his sniffing adventures. He’s gentle when taking treats and will nudge your pouch with quiet persistence, patiently waiting for more goodies. Rey would thrive in a peaceful home with people who understand the beauty of slow trust and quiet bonding. If you're looking for a thoughtful, low-key companion who appreciates gentle affection and soft encouragement, come meet Rey at ACCT Philly, open daily from 10 am to 6pm VIDEOS Eating a treat https://youtube.com/shorts/uCNMqmPUcT0?si=UpkJZ5x_VZ8DBiIy BEHAVIOR 07/14/2025 staff notes: Kennel presentation: Laying on the floor, when I approached the front, he stood up with ears to the side, soft eyes, tail slightly higher than middle and wagging.
