She is currently on the shelter's euthanasia list with only 2 days left, listed due to medical. Adopting Jolie, or even sharing her story, could save a life before it's too late.

Jolie ACCT-A-265600 is currently considered urgent and at risk of euthanasia due to medical concerns. Jolie must have confirmed placement with a RESCUE PARTNER OR EXPERIENCED ADOPTER by TUESDAY, OCTOBER 27TH at 10AM. Should Jolie's medical or behavioral status change, her urgency and timeline for placement may also change. Jolie is a 14-year-old girl who came to ACCT Philly as an owner surrender on October 23rd. Despite her age, she still has a playful side and was described as friendly, good with strangers and children, and happy to spend time with other dogs who respect her space. She walks well on leash, knows a couple of basic commands, and is mostly housebroken and crate trained. Jolie has limited vision and some mobility challenges, along with significant dental disease and other medical concerns that will need follow-up care. Jolie deserves a comfortable place to enjoy her golden years with someone who will give her the patience, love, and medical attention she needs. Due to her advanced age and medical concerns, Jolie is urgently seeking placement with a rescue partner or experienced adopter.
