PLEASE HELP US WELCOME SHRIMP & RANDII TO TINY PAWS!
Shrimp and Randii both came to ACCT Philly as strays and weren’t doing well in their kennel, since as many dogs that come to ACCT are scared and unsure of what is going on. Shelters can be loud and scary to many of the dogs. Sadly, some get labeled as having some issues which is understandable.
ACCT Philly being the only Open Intake Shelter in Philly takes all animals. Stray, Injured, Abandoned, Surrendered by their Owners for various reasons, some for medical or behavioral issues being informed they could end up being euthanized (which would be with a stranger being there when it happened instead of a long time loved family member).
Luckily at ACCT there are many volunteers who help to get these dogs out of their kennels and share info with ACCT to put in notes that get share with interested rescues. To the delight of one special volunteer, they found out they were the sweetest dogs, easy to leash and get out of their kennels. It can take time and patience and the ACCT volunteers are Angels to these dogs.
Our Special Angel ACCT Volunteer told us:
Shrimp is Illegally cute, super easy to handle, rolled over on her back for belly rubs. Happy to sit in my lap and look around. Oh, and she did a p*eing handstand which was very impressive.
Randii is Super cute, easy to remove from kennel, easy to leash, enjoyed lap time and getting pets.
Thankfully, Tiny Paws was able to find a foster for Shrimp and Randii, since without a foster we can’t help dogs, especially from ACCT who sometimes end up with Kennel Cough or a URI so we need to quarantine them in the foster home for usually 10-14 days if other dogs are in the fosters home.
We are always in need of more fosters so if you are in our area and have been considering fostering dogs under 20lbs please submit an application at https://www.tprescue.org/foster
Shrimp is thought to be around 1yo and is a tad under 8lbs. Her foster picked her up yesterday and says she is very sweet. She didn’t want to be in her pen and preferred her foster mom’s lap. She is interested in everything and everyone around her. We expect her full personality will start shining through as she learns to feel safe and secure in preparation for her furever home.
Randii is thought to be around 5yo and is a tad under 9lbs. His foster picked him up yesterday and says he is sweet, mostly quiet so far. He likes playing with toys, enjoys bacon treats, a good eater and seems potty trained. He was curious to meet their cats. He still needs to be neutered which will happen once he has some time to settle in and decompress.
Shrimp and Randii are safe, loved, and ready for their next chapter.
