CHINA BLACK
Hello everyone! My name is China Black (A09228863). I was found wandering the strays after having a litter of puppies. The shelter people don't know where my babies are and I'm very depressed being in the shelter all alon without them. I enjoy crawling into people's laps and giving kisses. On winter days, I'll cuddle with you under the blankets while you sip your hot coco (I wish I could have some too, but chocolate is bad for dogs). I'm sweet and well mannered and I really need a home. I get a little nervous around new dogs but with time I can probably live with them. If you let me be a part of your family, I would really appreciate it! Photos at:

CAPONE
Have you been searching for a happy-go-lucky, older dog to keep you company? Then you have to come meet Capone (A09047850). His owner had to surrender him due to poor health of the owner. Capone is a 5-7 year old pit bull mix that has lived with children and is good with most female dogs. He is a little too interested in kitties to live with them but hey, so are a lot of other dogs! He is always wiggling, a total wiggle butt, and loves to snuggle. If you are looking for a guard dog, this is not the dog for you. He is more likely to lick someone to death! He’s always walking around with this big goofy grin on his face because he’s so happy to meet people. He will cry if you don’t let him meet someone he wants to greet. He is still working on not jumping and leash manners but he does know “sit” and seems to be housebroken! He has a medium energy level and will need a daily walk to burn some energy and, of course, greet everyone in the neighborhood! Come adopt this great older guy today! Photos at:

BUDDY
Looking for a unique looking dog? Check out Buddy! Buddy (A08558821) is a 70 pound 1-2 year old mixed breed that is white caramel spots. His owners said he is part pit bull but there is definitely a lot of something else in there- probably some Bulldog! He’s been looking for a home since late September. He still has a lot of young dog energy and is learning not to jump. Because he is so big and doesn’t understand his own strength, he would do best in a home without small children. His tail is always wagging. Buddy responds to his name and the “sit” command. Come meet this one-of-a-kind boy today! Photos at:

Tweet (A09009247) is a 1-2 year old pit bull mix that was picked up as a stray. It’s obvious she has had a litter in the past, but now she is spayed so it won’t happen again! She’s sweet, friendly and would do well with children. She would be fine with a daily decent length walk or you can even take her on short runs. She is definitely loveable and needs a family that sees her for the sweet girl that she is. If you are looking for a friendly, calmer girl to ad to your family, please stop by and meet Tweet!

CODY
Are you an experienced bully owner looking for a softy? Then you may want to stop by and meet Cody (A09063632). Cody is a 1-2 year old American Bulldog mix that had the unfortunate fate of ending up with a family that knew nothing about his breed and surrendered him because he was too active for them. You can’t help but feel sorry for this mushy faced boy when he looks at you with his big brown eyes. With a strong leader, he will blossom into a gentleman of a dog. He knows “sit” and walks pretty well on leash, though this could be because he is a little nervous in the shelter environment. If you know American Bulldogs or bully breeds, this guy is just waiting for you to come pick him up! Photos at:

STILLER
Stiller (A09024266) is an awesome 2 year old American Pit Bull Terrier mix who recently had a litter of puppies, though we do not know what happened to them. Stiller was picked up as a stray and bares the scars of scuffles with other dogs in the search for food and shelter. She is a really sweet girl and loves to be in your lap. She is underweight as she could not find enough food on the streets but has shown no food aggression. If she is to go to a home with other dogs, Stiller would do best in a home without female dogs and someone with pit bull experience. She is fine with people and children. In fact, Stiller is a total people dog and wants to say hello to everyone! Stiller would love to be your walking partner, ride shotgun and spend all the time in the world with you. Come rescue this sweetie today! Photos at:

TIGGER
Tigger (08912206) is a 1-2 year old American Bulldog/Pit mix. He was surrendered to ACCT because he escapes when he is shut out in the yard all by himself.

This guy is like a canine locomotive on a leash and needs someone to teach him the proper way a good boy should walk. Tigger is a typical wiggle butt and is very friendly with all of the people he meets. He has no resource guarding issues and is great with body handling.

MARIO
Chocolaty, doe eyed Mario (A08022787) needs to get out of the shelter ASAP! Mario came in as a stray in July and has yet to find a foster home. He is about 1-2 years old and is a bundle of energy.

Mario would be happiest being the one and only pet in your home, but could live with a submissive female with proper introductions.

GABBY
Gabby (A08221835) is a young brindle girl of about 1 year, who already had some babies but is now spayed and ready to go! She came to the shelter as a stray and seems over stimulated in this loud place. She loves going for a walk, but needs some leash training. Gabby is curious and of medium to high energy, although after some walking she settles down. She should not go to a home with small dogs, cats, or small children as she can be an active girl, with a prey drive for small animals. She has shown no food aggression or any other aggression, and is great with being handled. Please gives this girl a chance at having a normal life, with some stability, treats, walks and love!

MIZ- URGENT!
Miz (A07723129) is a strikingly handsome 9-12 month old light brindle male Pit mix. Poor Miz came into the shelter in May as a stray and still hasn’t gained all the weight he needs to because he’s in a stressful kennel environment! Miz is a playful, athletic, rambunctious boy who desperately needs a home where he can release all his energy and channel it into positive learning. After just a few minutes out of his confining kennel Miz is a different dog and justa few minutes of playing calms him down tremendously. Miz is a smart dog that since arriving at the shelter has already learned “Sit”. He is very handsome with his golden eyes and will steal your heart! He is unsocialized with other dogs- he desperately wants to play but all he knows how to do is jump on them, so he will not be a dog park dog, but could learn to live with a smart dog that can teach him the way of good dog behavior! Help this long term resident today! Sniffles and Friends (www.snifflesandfriends.com) has kindly donated FREE dog training to the person who adopts Miz! Photos at:

KEV- URGENT!
My name is Kev (A07740386), I have been in the shelter for 200+ days. I came here as a stray on May 30, 2009. I am still waiting for someone to save me. I’ve seen hundreds of dogs come and go. Some leave in vans packed with dogs and cats that are off to find forever homes with rescue groups. Sometimes people that I recognize come in and take dogs and return in a few weeks with success stories of finding homes for their foster dogs. I’ve seen other dogs leave right from the shelter to families with excited children that are already fighting about whose bed their new four legged family member will sleep in. But I’m still here. I’m a good boy. I’m high-spirited and goofy. I’m energetic and playful. I am good with all types of body handling and being pinched and poked- in fact, he loves being tickled and runs around like a goof if he thinks you want to play! I like to chase toys, take nice walks and snuggling always makes me feel good. It seems that all the good things about me are also the things that have prevented me from finding a home, but I would try really hard if someone would just take the time to teach me to be better with my manners. When I came to the shelter I was just a pup, now I’m in my teenage years and I really hope I don’t grow old here. Or worse. Even though hundreds have passed me by, I have never lost my love for people. I am hopeful.

DESSY- URGENT
Dessy is a dog in foster care but that needs rescue help NOW! Please use your rescue connections to help find this SPECIAL NEEDS dog a good home! Dessy came into the ACCT shelter as a stray and we really thought that she would die that night. Her body temperature was 94 degrees, she was emaciated and not doing well. Now she is anamazing happy, healthy girl. A few days into Dessy finally getting up and around on her own, we discovered that she was completely unresponsive to us, after much banging around of pans, and making obnoxious noises, we discovered that Dessy was deaf. We’ve began teaching her hand signals and laser pointers. She is a very smart girl and catches on quickly. She is good with most other dogs and is very, very playful. She likes to pull around people on skateboards while chasing a ball, she is great at fetch, and can decapitate a stuffed animal in less than 30 seconds! Dessy loves to swim and play in water! She is a high energy girl that loves walks and lots of play time. Dessy is great in the car and enjoys sticking her head out the window. She is a great snuggler and can easily entertain herself with toys. Dessy is already spayed and microchipped and is ready to be adopted into a wonderful, understanding home. Dess is learning hand signals. She is about 1-2 years old and is crate trained and house broken. Photos at:

JUNIPER
Juniper (A09306546) is an approximately 5-6 month old Shepherd mix puppy. He has tons of energy and loves to bark, run and play! He’s still teething right now, so his new family will need to understand that he WILL chew on things and teach him the appropriate behavior. Juniper is also mouthy and jumpy, so he would do best in a home with children over 8 years of age. Come meet this cute little puppy today! Photos at:

Come meet this cute guy today! Photos at:

SHADOW
Shadow (A09318043) is a 3-5 year old Chow Chow mix that was surrendered by his family because they couldn’t afford to keep him anymore. He greets people by jumping straight up and down in his kennel. People always stare at him because of his different colored eyes. He’s a calm dog outside of his kennel but he is distracted by all of the noises and smells. Shadow is selective with his dog friends and would do best in a home without children under 13 years of age. If you are interested in adopting Shadow, please come by today! Photos at:

NOLA
Nola (A09325171) is a strikingly beautiful and petite female Hsky-Shepherd mix with different colored eyes who found wandering as a stray.

Huskies are notorious escape artists, so she should never be left outside unattended. Nola is friendly but independent; she won’t constantly be begging for affection. If Nola sounds like the dog for you, stop by and meet her today! Photos at:

Girly is a 5-10 year old Border Collie mix that was surrendered to the shelter by her family for some unknown reason. She knows ‘sit’ and is very friendly and outgoing.

MIMI
Mimi (A09229016) is a beautiful Black Lab mix puppy, around a year old, and boy does she live up to her breed. Being a "sporting" dog, she was all about the pigeons that were teasing her outside. With proper guidance, that energy could be channeled into being a well-trained, obedient sidekick! She is probably the sweetest girl you will ever meet, giving kisses and saying hello to every person that passes her way. When she has burned that puppy energy, she will press herself against your leg and look up at you with love in her eyes. She has already mastered "sit" and could learn so much more with your help! She gets along well with other dogs and will probably enjoy your cat as well!

Are you interested in one of the following dogs at ACCT? If so…
Please call or email the Life Saving Department to set up a time to come down to the ACCT facility (111 W Hunting Park Ave). Life Saving staff is any day (the sooner the better!) 9am- 6pm to fill out an application and meet the many wonderful dogs in need of foster care and adoption. If you have dogs of your own, you need to bring at least one in to meet any potential dogs and make sure there is no major personality clash. Please also bring proof that you are allowed dogs at your home if you rent.
To determine whether you should apply to foster versus adopt, please consider the following information:
-To adopt a dog means to commit to being the primary caregiver for the dog and keep it in your possession, for yourself for the rest of its life. Adult dogs are $75 to adopt, puppies (under 6 months old) are $125- that donation covers the vaccines, microchip, surgery, etc that the dog has received.
- To foster a dog means to commit to temporarily caring for the dog while also working to find the dog a “forever home”/adopter. While fostering the dog remains ACCT’s property, but the foster parent takes responsibility for marketing the dog, and doing a preliminary screening of any potential adopters. When an adopter is found, the foster parent must coordinate with the ACCT Life Saving office to approve the adopter and finalize the adoption. If the foster parent decides after time that they would like to keep the dog, they must complete the adoption process and pay the adoption fee. ** Fostering is not a trial adoption.**
MORE ABOUT FOSTERING...
Although previous fostering experience is not required, ideal foster care provider will have basic knowledge of animal care and training and be committed to finding their foster animal a safe and loving “forever home”. As a foster care provider, you will provide the animals with care including, food, water, shelter, training, grooming and medical treatment when necessary. The PSPCA will provide clinic and vet care, behavior and training resources, and adoption counseling. We rely on the foster parent to find an adoptive home for the dog, but we can help! We provide adoption events for you attend, can post your foster dog on Petfinder for you, etc. We cannot guarantee how long a foster dog will be in your care, since you keep the dog until an adoptive home is found, which can be anywhere from 2 weeks to a few months depending on the dog, and how heavily you market it.
ACCT is located at: 111 W. Hunting Park Ave, Philadelphia, PA 19140. Foster hours are 9:00 am to 6:00 pm everyday!
