Today’s dog is Desi. She’s a very sweet pup. She is on the little side – weighs only about 35 lbs. She was found as a stray on the streets of Philadelphia and now temporarily resides at PSPCA’s Animal Care & Control Team (111 W. Hunting Park Avenue).

Desi is a low-medium energy dog. She needs walks and/or a yard to romp in. She is currently learning some commands at the shelter such as “sit,” “down” and “paw.” She loves treats so it makes it pretty easy to train her.

Desi loves people and would really like to live in a home with a family that loves her. She loves to snuggle!

If you are interested in Desi and have small children, please bring them to make sure Desi is a good fit for everyone in the family. Please also bring proof that you are allowed to have dogs/cats at your home if you rent or be prepared that the adoption staff will call your landlord before approving your application.

She’ll be spayed, up to date on shots and microchipped before she leaves the shelter. If you want to meet Desi call: 267-385-3800 or stop by the shelter.

ACCT is open 365 days a year. Adoption hours are: Monday to Friday: 1 – 8 p.m.; Saturday and Sunday: 10 – 5 p.m. Afterhours by appointment.
