Our beautiful senior, Chessie, is still waiting for her family.

At 12-years-old she deserves to be home for her final days, however many those may be.

Please consider opening your heart and home to Chessie or another senior animal. You won't regret it.

Dog or Star Wars character, we’re not sure.

But we do know that Oliver is the cutest little pup around and had a great time visiting our friends at The NEW 96.5 yesterday.

After his owner was no longer able to care for him, Oliver found himself at our shelter, but his playful spirit never dimmed. He may be a bit older, but he still loves to go on a leisurely stroll and explore everything life has to offer.

Oliver is open to meeting other dogs and dog-savvy kids.

Stop by our shelter to meet him today!

Some things just fill your heart without trying, and Freya is one of them.

This sweet girl is affectionate, smart, and has the most contagious smile. She does great with other pups and is open to meeting kids.

At only 11 months old, Freya has a whole life ahead of her, and her first birthday is in 6 days.

Can we find her a home before then?

1,456 days without a home.

Sadly, this is Smokey’s reality, but he’s not letting it defeat him.

Instead, this incredible dog grows and learns and loves even harder with each passing day.

Perhaps, we can learn something from him - there’s light even in the darkest days.

And perhaps, he will be the light a family needs, if only he was given a chance.

"Those who can do, do. Those who can do more, volunteer."

Thank you to ZS Associates for once again making a difference at our shelter!

For their Corporate Volunteer Day, the group helped paint our much used employee break room and spent some time with adoptable dogs.

We are so grateful for your support!

Our Philadelphia headquarters currently has TWO adorable German Shepherd puppies looking for homes!

Ash (male) and Ivy (female) are your stereotypical puppies - and your stereotypical shepherds. They’re very smart, have lots of energy, and are so loving.

Ivy is in shelter and would love to go home today, while Ash is in a foster home.

Stop by our shelter or email [email protected] for more.

Chloe just has to be the cutest (and tiniest) pocket pittie we’ve ever seen. 😍

At only 21 pounds, this sweet girl is often mistaken as a puppy, but she is a full grown 1-year-old!

Chloe has recently been living in a foster home and has glowing reviews. She is noted to be a “total goofball and so affectionate”. She is doing well with the other dogs in the home and is open to living with children!

To learn more about Chloe or to start the application process, please email [email protected].

*update: pending rescue!*

Any bird lovers out there?

Our Philadelphia headquarters currently has two pigeons looking for rescue placement or an adoptive home.

After being rescued from a neglectful situation, they are a bit shy, but have so much potential to blossom.

If you're with a rescue interested in pulling, please email [email protected].

The sweetest face. The most gentle eyes. Zoey has been through a lot, but she loves everyone she meets at the Pennsylvania SPCA.

Maybe she knows we are her rescuers.

Last Friday started just like any other day.

But it quickly took a dark turn.

Our officers received a call from a Good Samaritan about a dog living in horrible conditions inside a home. The dog, seemingly begging for help, our Animal Law Enforcement team responded to the scene to provide just that.

In a small crate with f***s and urine built, lay Zoey. Every bone seemingly protruded beneath her soiled coat and she was reportedly too weak to even lift her head. Her emaciated body was a stark contrast to the unopened bag of dog food sitting on the counter. She weighed just 27lbs and scored a 1/9 on the Purina Body Condition scale. There is no lower score for a living animal.

In need of lifesaving care, Zoey was immediately brought to our shelter’s hospital. She began medications to treat her itchy skin and ears, and most importantly, started a refeeding plan to help her gain weight safely.

But despite the cruelty she had endured, Zoey’s heart remains so full and desperate for connection. She loves everyone, even though people have failed her in the past.

Zoey's road to recovery may just be starting, but thanks to our Animal Law Enforcement and veterinary teams, she is receiving a second chance. And soon, once she is healthy enough, she will be in search of a family and a new life.

Today, on $5 Friday, will you donate to help us continue saving lives like Zoey's?

12-years-old. Chessie deserves more than to spend what could be her final days in a kennel. Help us get this super sweet girl home. ❤️ 🏠 The Pennsylvania SPCA 📍 350 E Erie Ave., Philadelphia, PA 19134 ⭐️ Kennel #3079

With a personality as sweet as his name, we can’t believe Cake Batter is still waiting for a home. This gentle older boy tragically came back to our shelter when his owner passed away and has been looking for a new family ever since. Cakey tends to be overlooked at our shelter, but we hope with the help of Cecily Tynan and 6abc Action News, his people finally see him. - 🏠 The Pennsylvania SPCA 📍 350 E Erie Ave., Philadelphia, PA 19134 ⭐️ Kennel #3079

Unlike the Philadelphia Eagles wide receiver, our A.J Brown has been watching from the sidelines for far too long. Next month will mark two whole years that he's been searching for a home. Sadly, A.J Brown is rarely asked about, but we hope that will change today. He deserves a chance. He is open to meeting older kids and would prefer to be the only pet at this time. - 🏠 The Pennsylvania SPCA 📍 350 E Erie Ave., Philadelphia, PA 19134 ⭐️ Kennel #3079

Leaving the light on for animals in need

Chessie has been through so much. Left to die in a house where many other animals already had, she is safe with us now. We thought this song was appropriate for this sweet girl as many of our pups were honored to meet @maggierogers on her recent trip to Philadelphia. We always leave the light on for animals in need. Please share for Chessie and donate today if you can.

Bandit’s (formerly Brutus) owner thought he should be euthanized. He had been losing weight, and allegedly not eating or drinking. But when he arrived into our care, we didn’t see that. We just saw a sweet soul who needed help. And that’s exactly what we gave him. Now he’s ready to find his family. Adopt him today ❤️ - 🏠 The Pennsylvania SPCA 📍 350 E Erie Ave., Philadelphia, PA 19134 ⭐️ Kennel #3079

Mars Pet Adoption Weekend is in full swing and we still have lots of animals looking for homes! We are open until 6:30pm. Come meet your new best friend today!

Mandy is joyful here

It may be hard to imagine that living life in a shelter is better than in a home. But, for dogs like Mandy she is finally getting the care and love she deserves. Learn about this sweet girl and how your support saves lives like hers: https://www.facebook.com/PennsylvaniaSPCA/posts/932278822261845

Cakey. Don’t give up. Cake Batter was rescued from the home of a convicted dog fighter. He quickly found a new adoptive home…but then his owner died. Now this senior boy has been waiting over a year to be chosen. Please don’t give up, Cakey. #adoptdontshop #endanimalcruelty

Kimiko

Kimiko could easily distrust humans. After all, she was shot by one. But, she is so sweet, loving, and luckily recovering after her surgery. Learn more about her story and how you can help us find those responsible: https://www.facebook.com/PennsylvaniaSPCA/posts/920879483401779

This past Saturday during Clear the Shelters, we were so lucky to find homes for 78 of our animals. But the reality in animal welfare is that there are so many more still waiting. Please consider adopting today. They need you. - 🏠 The Pennsylvania SPCA 📍 350 E Erie Ave., Philadelphia, PA 19134 ⭐️ Kennel #3079
