After five years with his previous family, he was surrendered to ACCT Philly when they suddenly no longer had time for him.

This boy is well‑trained and knows an impressive list of cues: his name, Sit, Down/Lay Down, No, Off, Stay, Wait, Place, Heel, Drop It, and Leave It. He’s eager to please, attentive, and loves having a job—classic Aussie traits shining through in the best way. Peralta also has tons of favorite activities. He enjoys: - Exploring outdoors - Tug‑of‑war - Walks, runs, and dog‑park adventures - Hanging out with his people - Being petted, cuddled, and soaking up affection He loves toys too, especially rope toys, squeakers, and durable chews. Having lived with kids of all ages, Peralta has proven himself to be gentle, patient, and happy to be part of a family. He still has plenty of energy for fun and plenty of love to give. He’s the perfect companion for someone looking for a smart, social, deeply bonded partner who enjoys both activity and cozy snuggle time. Peralta is ready for his next chapter and he would love nothing more than to be your loyal shadow, adventure buddy, and best friend. He will come neutered, vaccinated, microchipped.
