Dog of the Week: Brosco

Hi, I am Brosco (A15543148), a friendy terrier mix who was found wandering the streets of Philadelphia all alone and was in the need for some food and love. I am approximately 3 to 5 years old, and have a beautiful light brindle coat, and my eyes even match my beautiful brindle coat.

If you dont mind me saying so myself, I am a very handsome boy and I am always being told how cute I am. I am a little anxious here at the shelter, but luckily, I have a wonderful Pen Pal who works with me during the week to teach me proper commands and manners.

Once I am out of the kennel, I love going for walks and giving some cuddles to anyone who comes my way. So far, I am walking well on the leash preferring to stay close to my Pen Pal, and in one day I learned the command “sit.”

I did meet some dogs and cats and passed those tests, and if you have any children under 8 years old or any resident dogs, please bring them to the shelter to meet me to make sure we are a great fit.

I am hoping to find my forever home with my Pen Pal’s help, which is making me feel less anxious. I have also attended some off-site adoption events and I heard that I have done well while attending the events.

I am really looking for a forever home, so why don’t you come down to ACCT and fall in love with me?  You wont regret it! I look forward to meeting you soon! Please feel free to email my Pen Pal at bricket815 AT aol.com.

These animals are located at Philadelphia’s animal control shelter, ACCT. They need immediate adoption or foster care. ACCT is located at 111 W Hunting Park Ave and is open 365 days a year.
