Philadoptables, Friends of the Philadelphia Animal Control Shelter

Philadoptables is an independent non-profit organization dedicated to the welfare and adoption of the 30,000+ animals that arrive each year at the Philadelphia animal control shelter, the region’s largest open-admission, high volume, public facility. We are the only charitable organization whose mission is dedicated solely to these animals, and to serving as an independent resource for the community at large. We accomplish this through a variety of activities, including ... Promoting the Adoption of our Shelter Animals - that is, our shelter's wonderful dogs and cats, through events, web, networking, and other media; Supporting the Volunteers and Lifesaving Programs - including our shelter's foster, rescue, and other lifesaving programs, and its hard working volunteers and staff. This also includes encouraging more people to volunteer, foster and rescue the shelter animals, and supporting the development of new programs, too, designed to serve these important needs.
