Smokey is wishing for his forever home on this New Year's Eve, his 4th New Year's Eve in the shelter. While he's had a hard beginning and despite his length of stay, he's so resilient that he has managed to keep up his good spirits and make a lot of friends. He has made the best of his stay with us; he's learned a lot (sit, down, hand targeting and crate trained). One thing that has made it tough for him to find a home is that he needs to be the one and only pet, but he'll be one who gives his people all of his love.

MAX is one of our long timers ! He’s a really great pup who’s not fond of being in a kennel ! He is very loved by volunteers and the Lifesaving Manager at the Shelter.
He loves his walks and absolutely loves to spend time out of the kennel with his friends. He’s a middle aged pup who really is looking for a quiet home, a couple of walks every day and someone to give him some love.
Contact [email protected] or come in any day 12pm to 6pm at 359 E Erie Ave in Philly to meet him.

Sweet Gidget is about 14 months old and as brave, smart, and loving as they come! Named after the movie character because she’s got all the personality, Gidget is a survivor. Lost or dumped, she made it on her own before she found her way into our home, our hearts. 💖

She’s a total love bug—always ready to snuggle, boop you for a kiss, or gently place her paws on your leg for some attention. (And trust me, you’ll want to give her all the pets, she's difficult to resist!) Gidget loves her walks, is awesome in the car, loves toys, dressing up, enjoys baths, towel dries, housetrained and kennel trained. She knows sit, paw, high five, down, wait and walks well on leash.

Gidget gets along great with her foster pup siblings and is eager to be by your side. Whether she's napping in the bed or giving you a sweet reminder that it’s time for a break, Gidget’s here to make you smile, she's never failed. 😊

She’d thrive in a family with older teens and/or another confident dog, and someone who can help her continue to be the best girl she can be. No long days alone for this one—she’s all about the love and companionship. ❤️

❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹WONDERFUL UPDATE ❤️‍🩹❤️‍🩹
After some time in Foster Cake Batter’s foster mom realized Cake was home and she made it official and adopted him!

We have so many other pups like Cakey who really need a home. Fostering really is a fantastic option. If you foster for the shelter we learn so much more about the dog and weather you end up adopting yourself or transitioning your foster to a forever home it is absolutely a win-win way to help.
If interested contact [email protected].

CAKE BATTER is still waiting for a new home!
Our sweet “Cakey” is getting stressed - he’s waited over a year since he came back to us after his owner died.
He had a home and his owner let us know how happy he was and what a good boy Cakey Batter was .
When a family member brought him back he too said Cakey Batter was wonderful but unfortunately he couldn’t keep him
Cakey is a very energetic young senior - about 8. He loves doing zoomies and loves getting his butt scratched. He’s just a great little low rider pup.
Come and meet him at 350 E.Erie Ave in Philly.

Royal is a sweet and squishy dog living in foster care with another dog. He's waiting for his forever home, and he promises you'll get the Royal treatment if you adopt him. He's about 70 lbs and pretty low key. He came to us through Humane Law Enforcement in May 2023.

Please message us or contact [email protected] to find out more.

November is “Adopt a Senior” month and sadly we have many seniors both dogs and cats who are waiting for thier forever homes.
Seniors usually have lived in a home and know the drill. With just a little adjustment they do very well.
Seniors are so grateful to get out of the noisy shelter into a home
Seniors usually just need a couple of shorter walks a day and they are past the chewing stage. They love to be by their people and nap
Highlighting just some of our senior pups - each of these dogs would do so well in the right home.
If you have any interest in a senior pup either the ones here or one of our others reach out to [email protected] or comment here.
All these pups are located in Philly at 350 E Erie Ave.

Cinderella is reallly starting to worry that her Prince Charming is lost! She’s been waiting quite a while and being a good girl but she’s not a fan of kennel life and she would really love to get into an Adult only home where she can be a true Princess
Cinderella is a young senior lady about 7. She’s got plenty of energy matching plenty of silliness. She loves to play and take long walks and she does want to be your one and only pet so she gets all the attention!
So all you Prince or Princess Charming folks come meet this gal and spring her out.
She’s at the Philly Shelter at 350 E Erie Avenue. Or contact [email protected].

AJ Brown has the softest brown eyes you'll ever gaze upon. He's sweet and gentle and only wants love and to play. He's really a great all-around dog, and it's surprising and sad that he has been at the shelter since November 2022.

Please ask about him at [email protected] or private message us for more information.

Echo is a young boy full of energy who just loves his friends and he has so many friends at the shelter who he loves.
He’s looking for an adopter who will be patient with him - he has some issues with new people and needs time and patience. An adult home with experienced dog people would be perfect for him.
