Pickle- URGENT

Pickle (A09507272) is a really wiggly and adorable 6 month old Pit mix puppy that was found as a stray. She has the cutest half-prick ears with a gorgeous brindle coat. She has lots of energy and would make a fabulous running partner! She’s on the smaller side – only 36 pounds- andwill stay petite! Pickle seems to like other dogs and looooooves people. Unfortunately Pickle is now on treatment for a severe case of kennel cough and needs to leave ASAP! Please save this adorable little girl today! Photos at:

Gatorade- URGENT

Gatorade (A09544127) is a sad but handsome male tabby cat. Poor Gatorade was found in a box, left for dead, in West Philly on January 31. We took him into the shelter and discovered that he was emaciated, dehydrated, had a very low body temperature, and conjunctivitis in one eye. He has hardly any muscle mass so is regaining his ability to walk and get up. Since arriving at the shelter Gatorade has been pampered by shelter staff with fluids, a heating pad, meds and special care BUT the shelter is no place for a sad case like this. Gatorade could really benefit from a warm, loving foster home where he can really recover and continue to gain weight and receive his medicine (provided for free by shelter). He is a very sweet cat that loves to snuggle and is friendly and loving. Gatorade needs to leave ASAP! Photos at:

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.

LUKE

Luke is a 3-5 year old male cat. He is all black except for a tiny white tip on his tail. Luke was surrendered to our shelter because his owner died. He has a very cute meow and loves asking for some love and attention.

KILLIAN

Killian is a 6-12 month male cat. He is very sweet and has a cute black and white coat. Killian was surrendered by his owner because they had too many animals. He loves rolling over on his back and asking for some belly rubs. Please, take this love-bug home!

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?

BANDIT

Bandit is a 1-2 year old female cat. She is white and the top of her head and back is all black. Very cute! She was surrendered by her owners because they could no longer afford to keep her. Bandit loves attention and was sticking her paws outside of her cage as if to say, “Hey! Look at me!” Please, give this girl the love that she needs.

DIAMOND

Diamond is a young female cat with a tuxedo coat and cute little white paws. She was surrendered by her owners because they no longer wanted her. It’s so sad because she is incredibly sweet and loving! Can you give this girl a second chance?

KILOLO

Kilolo is a young male cat between 6-12 months. He has a silky black coat. Kilolo was surrendered by his owners because they had too many animals and not enough time for him. He is very scared being here at the shelter and needs a home where someone can give him the love he needs.

BLUEBERRY

Blueberry is a 1-2 year old male cat. Blueberry was a stray and was found in front of someone’s house. He was desperately looking for someone to take him in. He looks very sad sitting in his cage all by himself and deserves a loving home.

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?

PUPPY

Puppy is a 1-2 year old male cat. He has a soft white and black coat. Puppy was surrendered by his owners because of landlord issues. He is already altered and ready to go home today! Please give this loveable guy a new home. Just look at his puppy face!

AMY

Amy is a 1-2 year old female cat. She has a tuxedo coat and cute little white paws. Amy was surrendered by her owners because someone was allergic to her.

List of Urgent Dogs (1-8-2010)


Here is the list of "URGENT" dogs (as of 1/8/2010) at the Philadelphia animal control shelter (ACCT), located at 111 W. Hunting Park Avenue. Contact information and FAQs about fostering/adopting are at the end of this list.

BENNY
Benny is a 5-10 year old black Shepherd mix that was surrendered to the shelter because of a death in his owners family. Benny can be aloof when first meeting people and slowly warms up. He prefers standing next to you with an occasional pet rather than cuddling. He’s nervous at the shelter and needs a foster home or an understanding adopter who can help him adjust to being in a home setting again. Because he is so nervous, he’d be best with kids 13 and over. Benny is on treatment for kennel cough and needs to leave IMMEDIATELY. If Benny is the boy you’ve been looking for, come meet him today! Photos at:

CHANCE

Terrified Chance is a 1-2 year old Shepherd/Rottweiler that needs to leave the shelter ASAP because he is so scared and stressed! He was surrendered by his owner because they where having issues with their landlord. He really misses the comfort and quiet of the home and is quite stressed here in the shelter. He solicits attention by putting his head on your lap and looks up to you with very lonely eyes. Chance seems to be house broken, has lived with other dogs and walks quite well on a leash.

BROWNIE
Brownie is an approximately 1 year old super cute black and tan Shepherd mix with adorable ears who’s owners decided she was to much responsibility for them. She can be a little nervous at first but bonds quickly. Once she is comfortable with you, she will follow you around, sit at your side and give you tons of kisses. Brownie loves other dogs and has actually lived with one before. Please come meet this sweet Shepherd mix girl today! Photos at:

LUCKY

Lucky is an approximately 3 year old Australian Shepherd mix that was surrendered to the shelter because he needed too much attention from his family. Lucky is very affectionate but is covered in painful mats that make it hurt when he is pet. After a good grooming, he will look and feel like a new dog! Lucky has lived with another dog and a cat before! Come meet this cute guy today! Photos at:

SADIE

Sadie is a gorgeous rust colored female Retriever mix 9-12 months old. How adorable is this pup? Sadie is not only quite a looker, but she has a bubbly personality that will keep you on your toes. Sadie is play and loves to give kisses! She needs work on perfecting ‘sit’ but is starting to get the hang of it. She likes to kiss, cuddle and romp. She has no aggression issues with food or toys and is all play with other dogs. Photos at:

CARLOS
Chubby Carlos was picked up as a stray and is very uneasy here in the shelter. He's a 1-2 year old hound/retriever mix that would love to be anywhere but here. Carlos met a few different dogs and seems to prefer a more calm dog that won't be too jumpy. He walks well on a leash and seems to be housebroken. Carlos has shown no signs of aggression. Photos at:

VIOLET
Violet is an adorable and loving 1- 2 year old female pit mix with pretty chocolate and white markings. Found wandering the streets as a stray, Violet came in totally emaciated and has slowly gained weight in our care here at the shelter. She desperately needs foster care to gain some weight and learn the joys of living in a loving home. Although Violet is nervous when new people come in the room, she will bury her head in your lap if you sit on the floor and give you gentle kisses. She loves to hug everyone she meets. Violet does not like cats (she thinks they would be a tasty treat!) but seems to like other dogs. Most of all she loves people and will be your dedicated snuggler for years to come. Violet is good in her crate, and seems housebroken. She needs to learn how to walk right on the leash but already knows “sit”! Please give this lovely lady a second chance at life! Photos at:

OREO
Wiggly Oreo is a short, white and black spotted pit bull mix. She is only 6-12 months old and about 55 pounds. Her family surrendered her right after Christmas because they were moving and Oreo wasn’t allowed to come along. Being a puppy, Oreo still has lots of energy and will need to be exercised every day. She is very friendly and wiggles her whole body when meeting people. She still jumps up, so she’d be best in a home with kids 10 and older, though she has lived with kids before. Oreo likes to rough house with other dogs, and has lived with 2 other dogs before. Oreo is on treatment for kennel and a strain in her leg so needs to leave ASAP! Photos at:

DESSY

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. Dessy is learning hand signals. She is about 1-2 years old and is crate trained and house broken. Photos at:

KEV

My name is Kev, I have been in the shelter for more than 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. Photos at:

JADA
Jada is a gorgeous caramel colored already spayed female Pit mix 1-2 years old. Poor Jada was found as a stray and is skinny and on treatment for kennel cough. She desperately needs some TLC! Jada is gorgeous- she is tall and lanky with an elegant long nose and beautiful soft eyes. Jada is such a sweet, loving dog. Jada loves to lay at your feet and will make someone a very special dog. Jada is great with body handling- she is fine being pinched poked and especially loves kisses! If you give Jada any baby talk she gets so wiggly and happy her whole body swishes from side to side. Save Jada’s life today! Photos at:

MARIO
Chocolaty, doe eyed Mario 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 thrive in a home that is active and understanding. He needs some work on leash walking, but he is eager to please and very food motivated. Mario would be happiest being the one and only pet in your home, but could live with a submissive female with proper introductions. Photos at:

COOLIO
Coolio is a stunning largely white terrier with green (!) eyes, between 1-2 years old that was brought in as a stray. He is an independent boy who is not very needy. He likes some affection but also like to explore his environment. He needs some basic leash training as the pulls a little, but is friendly and has been evaluated as very adoptable. Coolio turns heads and we hope he will do so with you on long walks in the park, or in your neighborhood?! Coolio has not been evaluated with cats, but is fine with most other dogs. Photos at:

GABBY
Gabby 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
Miz 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! Photos at:

He is still working on not jumping and leash manners but he does know “sit” and seems to be housebroken!

SABIR

Sabir is an 8 month old Pit Bull, approximately 35-40lbs. He is neutered, micro-chipped, and up to date on his shots. He bonds with his owners easily and loves to be pet, but he has lots of energy so daily walks, exercise, tug, and lots of play are necessary! He loves to chew on Kongs, ropes, and bones -- we haven't had a problem with him chewing on anything that doesn't belong to him. He takes treats very gently from your hand, and is eager to please so he learns fast and can't wait to show you his sit.We are working on commands, so far he knows sit, lay down, and crate (for crate training). We're working on paw and how to walk on a leash. Sabir needs a dog-savvy owner who will devote the time needed to training, socialization, and obedience. He is house trained but just needs the first week to be shown where to go and where not to go because he gets excited. He does NOT soil his crate and he's learned that going potty outside gets him treats so he's doing very well with house-training.He's an energetic little boy that will do best in a home where he is the only pet because he does get a little territorial and really loves to have all the attention on him. He is good with children but with his energy level he'll do best with older children (8+).

DEBA
Deba is a cheerful lass that is a 3-5 year old female pit mix that is already spayed. Poor Deba came to the shelter because her owner was arrested for drugs and for living in an abandoned property in unsanitary conditions. After this sad start to life Deba deserves to live in a home filled with love. She is a playful girl who has learned how to sit and chase toys and who learns very quickly. She sits in a funny, comical way with her feet to the side. She has a very even temperament and is extremely approachable and nice. In a home environment she would really be able to blossom, and she likes other doggies. She likes to sit right next to you and be close, she'd make a fine psychiatrist. Deba would like a doggy sweater to help keep her warm this time of year. She rides well in the car, but needs the security of a tether in the back seat or animal carrier (otherwise she wants to sit in your lap in the car). Deba has tested for a high prey drive, this means that unfortunately she cannot live with kitties, fuzzy bunnies, or other small animals. If you are looking for a loving relationship that will really last forever, please come in to visit Deba and fill out an adoption application. Permission from your landlord either in your lease already or in the form of a letter is necessary for renters. Deba also has a sponsor who will help you with acclimating her to her new home and as an outreach to her new dog parents in the hopes that her adoption will be as successful as possible. Interested in Deba? Email Emily, her Pen Pal, at

He knows ‘sit’ and ‘down’. He loves to have his belly rubbed. Rudolph is a big dog (over 70 pounds) and needs a strong willed owner. His medium energy level would allow him to go on runs and hikes or he would be just fine with a long daily walk. If he sounds like the boy for you, come meet him! Photos at:

SIR POOCH
Sir Pooch is an approximately 8 month old pit bull mix who’s owner surrendered him because he didn’t have adequate housing. Pooch loves to play but he can be a little rough – he’s lived with children before but we would suggest older children, so he can learn his play manners! Pooch is a smart boy and knows ‘sit’ but his new family should take him to obedience classes so he can learn everything else. This handsome devil is waiting for you to come rescue him! Photos at:

Are you interested in one of the dogs at ACCT? If so…Great! First, decide if you are interested in fostering or adopting! 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.**


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.


Ready to come meet one of the dogs?Adoption Hours are: Monday-Thursday; 4pm-7pm Friday; 12-7pm Saturday and Sunday; 12-5pmAfterhours by appointment Foster Hours are:Monday-Sunday; 9am-6pm. After hours by appointment


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.
