Grayson

Grayson is an adoptable male Pit Bull Terrier looking for a home at Philadelphia Animal Care and Control in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. He is fully grown and medium in size. He is currently on the shelter's euthanasia list with only 3 days left, listed due to lack of space. Adopting Grayson, or even sharing his story, could save a life before it's too late.

Grayson ACCT-A-262120 is currently considered urgent and at risk of euthanasia due to length of stay and lack of space for incoming dogs. Grayson must have confirmed placement with a RESCUE PARTNER or ADOPTER by MONDAY, OCTOBER 19TH at 10AM. Should Grayson's medical or behavioral status change, his urgency and timeline for placement may also change. Grayson came to ACCT Philly on September 18th after being found as a stray. Since arriving, he has shown himself to be a sweet, easygoing guy with low to medium energy. Staff and volunteers describe him as a cuddler who loves pets and treats, and he enjoys taking his time on walks to sniff and explore. In his kennel, he greets visitors from the front with soft eyes and a loose, wagging tail and he allowed all handling with a relaxed body during his behavior evaluation. He can be snatchy with treats, so tossing them is best. In playgroup, Grayson has had appropriate greetings and some good play moments with other dogs. He can get excited during interactions, sometimes attempting to mount other dogs, and earlier sessions included stiffness and raised hackles during greetings. He has also shown tolerance of other dogs and the ability to disengage on his own when he's ready for a break. If you're looking for a sweet companion to share treats, enjoy sniff-filled walks, and spend some cozy time together, Grayson could be your guy! Due to his length of stay, Grayson is urgently seeking placement with a rescue partner or adopter.
