Jakayla

My story

With her soft eyes and gentle tail wags, Jakayla is a tender soul who just wants to be close. She can be a little unsure in new situations and loud noises may startle her, but give her a moment and she’ll lean into your presence with quiet trust. She’s calm, low-energy, and easy on leash, a total sweetheart who prefers people to chaos. Jakayla greets other dogs politely and disengages easily, making her a great walking buddy. Treats are appreciated, but it’s human affection that truly wins her over. If you’re looking for a peaceful, loving pup who just wants to be by your side, come meet Jakayla at ACCT Philly, open daily from 10 am to 6 pm. BEHAVIOR 07/18/2025 volunteer notes: Jakayla had soft eyes and low tail wags at the kennel door. Easy to leash. Got unsure about the doorway and a little scared when the door slammed, she retreated, and I had to use loose pressure to get her outside. Outside there was a dog almost right away, and they gave a good fence greeting -low tail wags, and nose boops. She was very easy to disengage and keep walking. Today she was overall very calm and low energy. She just wants to be close to humans. Took treats nicely. Human affection is the way to her heart. She was easy to walk back inside to kennel.
