Clearfield is an approximately 2-year-old male dog who arrived at ACCT as a stray on May 14. 87 pounds of affection and the living definition of the word "hunk", this guy can't wait to meet his new Forever Family.

When I went to leash him, he presented at front of kennel with low-to-mid level wags, panting, ears to the side or back. Nuzzled the door to exit, but allowed me to leash without much issue. Smooth exit. + Leash Skills: Majority of the time pulled minimally, staying by my side or snuffling around determinedly. Marked throughout the walk and pooped after several minutes. Is quite strong; most of his pulling happened immediately after exiting kennel when he was focused on getting outside, and it was enough to knock a smaller (or unprepared) person off balance. + Sociability: In the play yard, began by independently sniffing on his own with ears back, tail low, occasionally wagging. Approached me when I sat on the bench with low-to-mid-level wags, relaxed face, soft eyes, and leaned into pets on the chest and shoulders. I stood and he hopped onto the bench, accepting more pets on the back, shoulders, and head, giving low wags throughout, directing most of his attention at a dog in the next yard over. At this point he began attempting to mount: several rounds of 5-10 seconds each, holding tightly onto my leg, minimally distracted by treats or toys, nonresponsive to firm "No"s. If I could shuffled out of his grip and away from him, most often he would reattempt to mount. I clipped him to the gate after several rounds and stepped a few feet away to get pictures; he left slack on the leash while he sniffed around. Did not reattempt to mount when I unclipped the leash. + Play: Minimal interest in a squeak toy, didn't pursue or take possession. + Dog Interaction: As we exited the play yard, he and the dog in the next yard over sniffed on either side of the fence. The other dog began hard barking and pawing/muzzle punching the fence. Clearfield perked up at this (ears to the side, posture heightened a bit, body tensed) but didn't escalate further. Followed me through the gate and away from the play yard with minimal coaxing. + Return to Kennel: No issues. Hopped right in for a bit of cheese. Removed leash easily. Per Clearfield's finder on 5/14, he was described as: + " very friendly, affectionate, energetic around strangers. calm around animals" + "walks well, pulls a bit" + "he does jump up- more in a playful way" + "friendly, cuddly, playful, he didn't want to be restrained - he tried to avoid being leashed at first" MEDICAL NOTES 5/14 Intake exam: Weight: 87.4 lbs Body Condition Score: 5 - Ideal Microchip Found?no,placed Microchip entered on profile?yes Found Chip placed on hold?no Collar placed?yes Age-2yr Urogenital-male Altered-no Eyes-clear Ears-clean Nose-clear Coat/Skin-clean Teeth-white/adult Gums-pink/moist Musculoskeletal-good Behavior-anxious/timid/BAR - ACCT Philly is located at 111 West Hunting Park Ave in Philadelphia.
