Aurora

Aurora is an adoptable female Siberian Husky looking for a home at Philadelphia Animal Care and Control in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. She is fully grown and large in size. She is currently on the shelter's euthanasia list with only 2 days left, listed due to lack of space. Adopting Aurora, or even sharing her story, could save a life before it's too late.

Aurora ACCT-A-263716 is currently considered urgent and at risk of euthanasia due to length of stay and lack of space for incoming dogs. Aurora must have confirmed placement with an ADOPTER or RESCUE PARTNER by SATURDAY, OCTOBER 31st by 10:00 am. Should Aurora's medical or behavioral status change, her urgency and timeline for placement may also change. Due to being significantly overcapacity with animals and higher than usual intake, extensions are unlikely to be granted. If you are interested in an animal please contact ACCT Philly immediately. Due to limited space, timestamps may also be proceeded with early so it is imperative to let us know if you are considering adopting or tagging an animal. Meet Aurora! This sweet girl was brought to the shelter after being found as a stray. While she can be a little shy at first, she's been showing us more of her personality! Aurora is a calm girl who enjoys leisurely walks at a slow to medium pace with minimal pulling. She can walk past other dogs without paying much attention to them, making her a lovely companion for relaxed strolls. At the shelter, Aurora has had positive meets with other dogs and has shown appropriate greetings at the fence before mingling with them in playgroup. She has sometimes attempted to mount other dogs during playgroup, so she'll benefit from continued guidance during dog interactions. When spending time with her human friends, Aurora enjoys the simple things in life, like splashing around in the doggie pool or lounging on a nearby bench. She may take a little time to warm up, However once she trusts you, she has will show you her calm, easygoing side.

Aurora was initially a bit anxious in the foster office after her daytrip: she was exit-searching, panting, and seemed restless. I called her over to me, so I could assist with removing her harness, as staff indicated it might be unfamiliar to her. Aurora let me pet her down her sides, and unclip the harness before pulling it over her head. I called her back over and she immediately scampered over to me, leaning heavily into me. I patted my legs, and she gently put her front paws into my lap, leaning in for some face kisses. I told her \"no, thank you\" and she hopped off.
