Philadoptables 2026 Grants Have Been Selected: Supporting Lifesaving Rescue Work Across the Philadelphia Region

At Philadoptables, our mission has always been rooted in one simple belief: when we support the people doing the work, we save more lives.

We’re proud to share that our 2026 Philadoptables grants have officially been selected, and this year we are honored to support four incredible rescue organizations that are making a meaningful difference for cats and dogs across the Greater Philadelphia area.

Each selected organization will receive a monthly donation throughout 2026, helping provide consistent, reliable support for the lifesaving work they do every single day — from medical care and food assistance to rescue, rehabilitation, and community outreach.

These groups show up when animals need them most, and we are grateful to stand beside them.

Meet the 2026 Grant Recipients

Purr Philly

Purr Philly is a volunteer-powered cat rescue dedicated to saving at-risk cats and kittens from high-intake shelters. Through foster-based care, medical treatment, and thoughtful adoption practices, Purr Philly works tirelessly to ensure each cat is given the time, care, and compassion needed to find the right forever home.

Their commitment to both the animals and the adopters they serve helps create lasting, successful placements — giving cats a second chance at the lives they deserve.

Whiskers of Love Cat Rescue and Sanctuary

Whiskers of Love Cat Rescue and Sanctuary provides a safe haven for cats who need it most. Their work combines rescue, rehabilitation, and long-term sanctuary care, ensuring that even the most vulnerable cats receive love, dignity, and protection.

With a strong focus on compassion and education, Whiskers of Love plays a vital role in improving outcomes for cats who might otherwise be overlooked.

Tiny Paws Rescue

Tiny Paws Rescue is dedicated to saving animals from overcrowded shelters and unsafe situations. Their hands-on approach includes medical care, foster placement, and adoption services that help animals heal both physically and emotionally.

Through the support of foster families and volunteers, Tiny Paws Rescue gives animals the chance to transition from survival to stability — and ultimately into loving homes.

Delco Dawgs

Delco Dawgs focuses on rescuing dogs from high-risk environments and providing them with the medical treatment, training, and foster care they need to succeed. In addition to rescue efforts, Delco Dawgs emphasizes advocacy, education, and responsible pet ownership within the community.

Their dedication helps ensure that dogs not only find homes — but thrive in them.

Why These Grants Matter

Rescue work doesn’t stop after a single save. It requires ongoing resources, stable funding, and unwavering commitment. By providing monthly grant support throughout the year, Philadoptables aims to help these organizations plan ahead, respond to emergencies, and continue saving lives without interruption.

While only four organizations are selected each year, we remain deeply grateful to every rescue group working tirelessly across our region. The animal welfare community is strongest when we lift one another up.

Throughout 2026, we look forward to highlighting each grant recipient, sharing their stories, and celebrating the impact they create —

One rescue, one animal, one life at a time.

A Year of Gratitude, Growth & Lifesaving Impact

As we close out another year, our hearts are truly full of gratitude.

Because of you — our volunteers, donors, attendees, sponsors, and every single person who liked, shared, supported, and cheered us on — Philadoptables continued its mission of helping homeless, sick, and injured animals throughout the Greater Philadelphia area. Your compassion makes it possible for us to stand alongside local shelters, rescue groups, and community members when animals need us most.

🐾 14 years of our Annual Love Potions fundraising event
🐾 12 years of producing our beloved Hunks for Hounds calendar
🐾 7 years of hosting our Charity Golf Outing

Each of these moments represents thousands of animals helped, countless volunteer hours, and an extraordinary community coming together with a shared purpose: to save lives.

Every event, every donation, every adoption, and every act of kindness is made possible because of you. Thank you for showing up, giving generously, spreading the word, and believing in what we do. Your support continues to change the lives of animals who would otherwise be forgotten.

As we look ahead, we are filled with hope and determination. Here’s to another year of compassion, collaboration, and making a real difference — together.

Building Better Futures: Philadoptables Helps ACCT Philly Transform Shelter Dog Play Spaces

For more than a decade, Philadoptables has believed in one simple truth:
when you give animals the space, care, and compassion they deserve, their lives change.

This year, that belief comes full circle.

Philadoptables is proud to announce its $10,000 contribution as a Guardian-level sponsor of ACCT Philly’s Outdoor Dog Play Yard Project — a transformative initiative that will create safer, healthier, and more enriching environments for thousands of shelter dogs every year.

And for us, this moment carries special meaning.

A Full-Circle Moment for Philadelphia’s Dogs

In 2012, Philadoptables funded and built three shelter dog play yards and a pavilion at ACCT Philly. . At the time, the need was urgent: shelter dogs had little access to outdoor space, minimal opportunity for socialization, and few ways to relieve stress in a healthy, structured environment.

Fast forward to today — and the vision is bigger, smarter, and more impactful than ever.

ACCT Philly, the city’s only open-intake animal shelter, serves animals who often arrive in crisis: surrendered, lost, abandoned, injured, or recovering from trauma. While many improvements have been made to the facility over the years, outdoor enrichment space remained one of the shelter’s most critical needs, particularly for dogs in isolation who previously had no dedicated fenced outdoor areas.

That is now changing.

What the New Play Yard Project Includes

In partnership with Animal Arts, the nation’s leading shelter design firm, ACCT Philly is undergoing a major expansion and renovation of its outdoor dog spaces. This project will include:

  • 🐕 Four brand-new play yards
  • 🛠 Renovation of existing outdoor areas
  • 🌱 Installation of specialized K9 Grass for safety and durability
  • 🔒 Upgraded fencing
  • 🌤 Shaded spaces designed for comfort and safe playgroups

These thoughtfully designed spaces will support improved behavior, safer socialization, and stronger adoption outcomes for shelter dogs.

Why These Yards Matter

Outdoor play yards do far more than provide exercise.

They give dogs the ability to:

A. Walk, run, explore, and release stress
B. Co-mingle safely and assess compatibility with other dogs
C. Interact with potential adopters off-leash in a natural environment

These moments are essential for building confidence, reducing anxiety, improving behavior, and helping each dog put their best paw forward when meeting their future family.

Simply put:
these yards save lives.

Honored to Help Move This Project Forward

With the project now fully funded and nearing completion, Philadoptables is proud to have played a key role in bringing this vision to life — delivering meaningful, long-term benefits for shelter dogs and the compassionate teams who support them.

“This is a full-circle moment for us,” the Philadoptables team shared.
“In 2012, Philadoptables funded and built three shelter dog play yards and a pavilion at ACCT Philly. Today, we are honored to continue that legacy and invest in a future where every shelter dog has the space they need to heal, thrive, and find a home.”

While Philadoptables is not formally partnering with ACCT Philly on this project, we are deeply proud to contribute to this critical effort — and to stand alongside many other sponsors and supporters who understand that every investment, large or small, changes lives.

Building a More Compassionate Future — Together

This project represents everything Philadoptables stands for: compassion, collaboration, and commitment to animals who need us most.

Together, with ACCT Philly and the broader Philadelphia animal welfare community, we are building a stronger, kinder future —
one yard, one dog, one life at a time.
