Black and White and Furry All Over!

QUESTION: What’s black and white and furry all over?

ANSWER: The wonderful cats and dogs at Philadelphia’s animal control shelter (ACCT)!

During the month of January, all black & white pets are available at special discounted adoption fees!

The ACCT shelter is located at 111 W. Hunting Park Avenue in Philadelphia, PA, 19140. They are open for adoptions 7 days a week! Adoption hours are: Monday through Thursday, 4 to 7 pm; Friday, 12 to 7 pm; and Saturday & Sunday, 12 to 5 pm.

Here are just a few of the black & white pets that are ready to be your new best friend!

TROUBLE

Trouble is a really unique and handsome looking stocky 1-2 year old American Staffordshire Terrier mix that was found as a stray. The stressful shelter environment makes him uncomfortable and the best situation is for this gorgeous guy to get a quiet and loving home ASAP. He is a medium energy dog that doesn’t need tons of exercise but should at least get a daily walk. He needs to get out of the shelter so he can loosen up. If you can offer this boy a home, please get into contact with us ASAP!

SKEETER

Skeeter is a 6-12 month old pit bull mix that was found as a stray. He is all white with a black patch over one eye making him look absolutely adorable. Skeeter has lots of energy and would love to go running with you! When he’s playing, he barrels right into you not realizing his own strength. He’d do best in a home with someone that has had previous dog experience. If this sounds like a match for you, please come meet Skeeter!

BOBBY

Bobby is a very handsome, short and stout black and white 1-2 year old American Bully mix with funny cropped ears that was found as a stray. He is a little nervous at the shelter so he sticks close by. What Bobby really wants out of life is a person he can snuggle with – it’s what he’s best at! Bobby loves having his butt scratched and also enjoys an occasional game of “Grab a toy and act like a fool.” If you are looking to add a medium energy boy to your house, please consider Bobby. Bobby seems to like other dogs.

BUDDY

Buddy is a 6-12 month old Boston Terrier/American Pit Bull Terrier mix. He was found as a stray and is looking for a loving family to take him in. Buddy would be great with children and would enjoy hours of endless fun and games. His new family would need to work with him on basic obedience skills (sit, stay, down, come) and will need to be committed to giving him daily exercise – he is not a couch potato! Poor Buddy is on treatment for kennel cough and needs to leave IMMEDIATELY. Please help rescue Buddy.

SOCKS

Socks is a really pretty 6-12 month old American Pit Bull Terrier mix. She loves to cuddle and wiggles with delight as soon as someone takes her out of her kennel. Somehow she manages to wiggle while sitting down! Confidence isn’t Socks’ strong suit, so she’d love to get into foster care and have some socialization. If you are looking for a stunning dog and have older kids, Socks might be the girl for you! Come meet her!

SONYA

Sonya is a 3-5 year old white pit bull mix that was found as a stray. She has had many litters and people don't want her because of her sagging boobies. She's waiting for someone who can look past her exterior and see the sweet girl inside. It's a good thing she loves meeting people and going for walks because her beautiful blue eyes capture everyone's attention. Sonya would make a great family dog! Sonya doesn't like pushy dogs and should not go to the dog park but she can live with a male dog. Please come save this sweet girl!


CARL

Carl is a beautiful boy looking for a new home. He is a pit/terrier mix about 6-12 months old. He was brought in as a stray in mid-October. Carl is very soft but don’t let that fool you, he has a ton of energy and is ready to play. He loves to play with other dogs and he will need some leash training. Carl is a love bug and with the right home will do well.

DUCHESS

Duchess is a really cute and petite little 1-2 year old pit mix who was surrendered because her owners couldn’t afford her. Duchess has lived with cats before and is a star at offsite events because she loves kids! She is loving and affectionate and a great family dog. Duchess seems unused to other dogs and doesn’t understand how to interact with them. Poor Duchess is on treatment for kennel cough and needs to leave the shelter ASAP. Please rescue this beautiful girl!

TIMOTHY

Timothy is a super cute and sad looking 1-2 year old Shar Pei- Mastiff mix. Timothy is very underweight, but has no other obvious health issues. Because Timothy is underweight, he tends to scarf down his food, so some hand feeding would benefit him greatly. He did very well meeting other dogs, and had no reaction to cats, but we would recommend observing all interactions, especially as he starts to feel better and gain more weight. Timothy is extremely kind and gentile, the kind of dog that will cozy up on the couch with you and potentially be a blanket hog.

VENNY

Venny is a 1-2 year old male cat with a handsome tuxedo coat. He was found as a stray and taken to the shelter. Venny is very scared in this loud environment, but is a very sweet boy. He needs someone to love him and take care of him.

GARFIELD

Garfield is a 3-5 year old male cat with a soft tuxedo coat and pretty green eyes. He was surrendered to our shelter because his owner died. Garfield is not used to this noisy environment and is very scared at the shelter.

GLOSSY

Glossy is a 3-5 year old female cat. She is black & white and loveable all over! She was found as a stray wandering along by herself. Glossy is altered, microchipped, and ready to go home today! Do you have the home for this pretty girl?

PENENNA

Pennenna is a 1-2 year old female cat with a silky black coat. She was surrendered to the shelter because her owner was having landlord issues. Penenna is already spayed, microchipped, and ready to go home today! Can you give this girl a home?

ODIE

Odie is a 1-2 year old male cat with a silky black coat. He was removed from a not-so-good house and brought to the shelter. Odie is neutered and ready to go home today! He is very sweet and deserves a good home!

TONI

Toni is a 1-2 year old female cat with a beautiful black, long-haired coat. She was found as a stray and someone brought her into the shelter. Toni is just getting better from a cold and is finally ready to be adopted. She is very sweet and needs to find a new home soon.

MAGIC

Magic is a 5-10 year old male cat who is already altered and ready to go home today! He was likely someone’s beloved pet that got lost, but was found as a stray and they never came back for him. Magic loves attention and purrs as soon as you pet him. He belongs snuggled up to someone rather than here at the shelter.

ROCK

Rock is an adult male cat with a silky black coat. He was surrendered by his owners because they no longer wanted him. It’s so sad because he is a sweet, laid back gentleman. Rock is a real sweetheart that deserves a good home.

CHLOE

Chloe is a 1-2 year old female cat. She is a tuxedo and has cute little white paws. Chloe also has very stunning green eyes. She was surrendered by her owners because someone was allergic to her. She is already altered and ready to go home today.

MAX

Max is a 3-5 year old male cat. He is all black but has cute little white paws. Max was surrendered because his owners had a baby and no longer wanted him. He is already altered and ready to go home today. He is very sweet and misses a loving home life.

TUX

Tux is a 6-12 month old male cat. He is black and white and fits right in with this month’s adoption special. Tux was found as a stray wandering around someone’s back yard looking for a friend. He is super sweet and would make a great addition to someone’s home.

WHITIE

Whitie is a 1-2 year old male cat. He is pure white! This guy is very, very friendly. He was purring as soon as he was pet. Whitie belongs in someone’s lap rather than a noisy shelter. Please, help him out!

CHECKERS

Checkers is a 1-2 year old female cat. She is white & black and has green eyes. Checkers was found as a stray and is ready to experience the good life of a house cat. Can you help this sweet girl out?

TROY

Troy is a young male cat. He is between 6-12 months. He was a black coat with a white patch on his chest making him look just like a tuxedo suit. Troy was brought to the shelter after he was taken from an environment that was not suitable for him. He is microchipped and just needs to be neutered before he goes home.

MIDNIGHT

Midnight is a handsome 3-5 year old male cat. He has a silky black coat. Midnight was surrendered by his owners because he was too much responsibility. He is very friendly and loves to get neck scratches. Do you have the time and love for this awesome cat?
