We did it!! 🙌🎉Thanks to YOU and your incredible generosity, we raised more than $155,000 on to provide lifesaving medical care for the animals who need us most! 🐾💖

Every donation, every share, every comment, and every forwarded post or email helped push us across the finish line 🥰. With so many amazing organizations asking for support on Giving Tuesday, we are especially grateful to everyone who chose to stand with Philadelphia's homeless pets!

🐾 A special thank you to the generous donors who matched up to $65,000 and helped us reach our goal, and to KYW Newsradio , PHL17’s Positively Philly, NBC10 Philadelphia, and Eddie’nchooch for helping to spread the word far and wide! 📣🐶🐱

WE’RE SO CLOSE TO OUR GOAL! 🐾❤️

Our APOs were called to help a stray dog found alone in an alley. When Lyle arrived at the shelter, our medical team discovered a stick lodged in the back of his throat. He was rushed to an offsite hospital right away.

He had to be sedated so vets could safely remove it and thankfully, it just missed major vessels. He was given IV antibiotics and then oral antibiotics to prevent any infection.

Because of supporters like YOU, Lyle received lifesaving treatment and has been transferred to a rescue partner to continue healing and find his forever home. 💙

💙Your support is what allows us to say yes to getting animals like Lyle the offsite urgent medical care that they need.

On Giving Tuesday, you can help more pets like Lyle get the second chance they deserve and right now, your donation will go TWICE as far and be matched by generous donors!

We’re officially more than halfway to our Giving Tuesday goal!

Late one night, almost around midnight, our APOs responded to a call about a dog, Big Bud, who had been hit by a car. He was trembling, unable to stand, and in obvious pain.

He was taken straight to an offsite hospital for stabilization, radiographs, and for pain management. X-rays revealed a fracture in his front leg that extended into his elbow joint..

Because of supporters like you, Big Bud received the critical care he needed and was transferred safely into the care of a rescue partner who continued his care.

💙Your support is what allows us to say yes to getting animals like Big Bud the offsite urgent medical care that they need.

On Giving Tuesday, you can help more pets like Big Bud get the second chance they deserve and right now, your donation will go TWICE as far and be matched by generous donors!

It was close to midnight when Sandwich the cat was picked up by our officers. She was barely responsive. A quick scan and search revealed she'd been missing for two months after slipping out the door and her owners had been looking for her. Our team acted quickly, rushing her to an offsite veterinary hospital in hopes of stabilizing her while the owner was called.

Within hours, her owner was at her side, and miraculously Sandwich not only survived but is back home and thriving.

At only 8 months old, Nerf was brutally attacked by two adult dogs who lived with her in the home. Nerf was so badly injured that once she arrived at the shelter after being transported by the police, we immediately rushed her to the hospital.

Vets found deep puncture wounds across her body. She had bites to both elbows, under her neck, and even inside her ear. Some of the injuries were so severe that surgeons had to place drains to prevent infection and help the wounds heal properly.

Once she was strong enough, Nerf returned to ACCT to continue healing until a rescue partner stepped up to take her in and help her keep moving forward to find a loving home.
