Terrier - Medium - Young - Female - Dog - DESSY
Description
At times, and for many reasons, our animals go into foster homes and get adopted out from there rather than the shelter. This animal is in foster care, not at the shelter. Please use the email contact information for the foster family to set up a meet & greet or to get more information. Dessy is a super sweet, special needs gal that is looking for her permanent home. Dessy came into the ACCT shelter as a stray on March 10, where she was quickly put into foster care. Dessy is not only looking for a home that understands the needs of deaf dogs to help her flourish, but also one that is active and FUN! cause she loves to play! Dessy is good with most other dogs (she can however be a bit overwhelming to less energetic or dominant dogs) and can entertain herself as well. Dessy's favorite activities: -swim and splash (mostly splash) in the kiddie pool -skateboarding or jogging -outdoor festivals, she's been to a few and has been great! always making fast friends. -and of course that most traditional game of fetch, she loves it so much, its sometimes adorably goofy.- Dessy would benefit greatly towards her success at being a perfect house dog from nice walks and is learning to walk quite well on leash, she is also great in the car and enjoys sticking her head out the window to sniff the wind! As much as Dessy loves to play she is also a wonderful snuggler, and can be quite lovey-dovey. Dessy is already spayed and microchipped and is ready to be adopted into her home. She is about 1-2 years old and is crate trained and is well on her way to understanding house breaking. If you are interested in meeting Dessy please email: paws@bust.com The PSPCA Adoption Center is located 350 E. Erie Avenue in Philadelphia.
