While you're likely familiar with Philadelphia's adoption dog shelters and rescues, do you know anything about ACCT Philly as well? I know of a couple that work for ACCT Philly, and I've rescued a dog from Halo, so I'm going to cover those, too! What is an adoption center? How does it work? How can you get one?
Halo
The oath to office was incorrectly given to Halo, a pitbull, when he rolled on top of a police officer's stomach at the swearing in ceremony. District Judge Georgia Stone read to Halo the oath, and the officer gave Halo belly rubs. Halo subsequently signed the oath with his paw print and was issued an official badge with his name.
Halo is a pit bull-mix. Her owners surrendered her to them after a divorce. Rags 2 Riches Animal Rescue adopted Halo, and placed her with a foster home. Although Halo may not be as young and lively as many pit bulls', she is charming and will make foster home feel welcomed. Halo's gray nose is boopable and her back leg points up when seated.
Morris Animal Refuge
A website dedicated to animal rescue organizations is refreshingly untraditional. It is full of vibrant colors, illustrations and photos. The site attempts to make the shelters seem welcoming and friendly, and the homepage tickers show how many animals and people have been saved or changed through the organization. It's easy to see that Morris has a noble cause. The website is an innovative and effective way to encourage adoption.
The Morris Animal Refuge was established in 1874 by Elizabeth Morris, a woman who lived in her home. This Morris family member devoted her entire life to the welfare of animals. The nonprofit runs on private donations and public support, and a neighborhood van is donated for events and fundraisers. It promotes the nonprofit in the local area. Visitors are encouraged to adopt a pet dog by the site's clear call to action.
ACCT Philly
You should look into the Animal Care & Control Team of Philadelphia if you are interested to adopt a pet. The adoption fee for dogs over 35lbs is waived by the organization. They are trying to reduce animal surrenders through finding new homes but they can't turn away all dogs. ACCT Philly is an open-admission city-contracted animal shelter. They cannot accept any animal. Lucy Bustamante of NBC10 will discuss ACCT Philly and their many dogs available for adoption.
ACCT Philadelphia is an excellent place to find a pet. The shelter is home to more than 20,000 animals every year. It's the ideal place to begin your search for a pet. ACCT shelter is open to all breeds and age, even purebreds. It is possible to browse the ACCT shelter's list and find a pet. However, visiting the shelter in person is always more beneficial. ACCT shelter staff are available to answer your questions and help find the perfect dog for you family.
PAWS
If you are looking for a new dog, cat, or small animal to love, consider adopting from PAWS - Philadelphia Animal Welfare Society. It is dedicated to finding homes every year for thousands of homeless pets. PAWS fosters loving homes for new pets through its adoption events and foster-care network. It also accepts donations and volunteers. Consider becoming a pet foster to help one of the many animals who are in desperate need.
PAWS may be the ideal choice for you if a low-maintenance, high-energy dog is what you're looking for. Since 2001, this animal rescue group has adopted more than 6,000 animals. They also help to open no-kill shelters. You can get everything you need for your pet, including a collar or a harness. The shelter sells collars, leashes, and harnesses.
