About grant: Grant Animal ID ACCT-A-248092 Breed Terrier, American Pit Bull Sex Male Weight 56.4 lbs Age 4Y/1M/1W Location Large Dog Kennel, H1 Attributes Blue Good Dog Meet (In Shelter) Grant ACCT-A-248092 is currently considered urgent and at risk of euthanasia due to length of stay and lack of space for incoming dogs. Grant must have confirmed placement with a RESCUE PARTNER or ADOPTER by TUESDAY, JUNE 2ND at 10AM. Should Grant's medical or behavioral status change, his urgency and timeline for placement may also change. Grant came to ACCT Philly in April after being found as a stray. After two weeks in the shelter, he was reclaimed by his family, but a few days later he was found tied to a bench and has not been reclaimed since. Grant is people-friendly, affectionate, and highly food-motivated, which makes him easy to work with. He knows 'sit,' loves toys and balls, and enjoys a good play session in the yard. He's happiest when he's getting attention, affection, and engagement from his people. Grant can be playful and a bit jumpy at times and has shown some mouthing behavior, particularly around feet, but he redirects easily with treats or toys. He pulls mildly to moderately on leash and does best with patient handling and plenty of structured interaction. With other dogs, he was initially a bit stiff on greeting but quickly relaxed, offering a play bow and zooming around the yard once comfortable. Grant is best suited for children 12 and up, and the whole family must meet him prior to adoption. All he really wants now is a steady home, some good toys, and someone to match his big, happy energy. Due to his length of stay, Grant is urgently seeking placement with a rescue partner or adopter.
