Happy Thanksgiving friends! Philadoptables had Clifford all inflated and ready to strut the parkway of Philadelphia for the 2021 6ABC Dunkin’ Thanksgiving Day parade!
It was such a great day – thank you to all the amazing volunteers who got up in the middle of the night to join us at the parade!
When our friends at Phoenix Animal Rescue told us that their scale broke, Philadoptables knew we had to help!
Phoenix Animal Rescue has saved so many animals from the city shelter this year. The scale is very important to their lifesaving work as having an accurate weight on an animal is critical to making sure they receive the proper dosage of medication.
For 13 years Philadoptables has helped feed hungry cats and dogs in the Delaware Valley. Collected pet food is also distributed to rescue groups and foster parents that save dogs from Philly’s open intake shelter.
Preparation for our annual pet food drive begins NOW as we start identifying volunteers to help collect pet food and locations to place collection boxes for November/December – schools, offices, stores, anywhere there is foot traffic.
Do you want to get involved or know of a great collection location? Email us at info@philadoptables.org! The collection drive will take place through December 11th. We will provide a letter of introduction, collection boxes (while supplies last) , downloadable flyers, and posters. Follow us on Facebook for updates as we ramp up to the event. You can help make this year a success!

What started as a very determined young man who grabbed his landscape nippers and took off in pursuit of a wild butterfly bush blocking the sidewalk turned into our shelter clean up!
Our volunteers built 37 dog beds and took them into the kennels so our dog friends will sleep comfortably. Countless loads of laundry were done and the laundry room was deep cleaned. Dishes were cleaned, trash was bagged, sail shades were hung in the outside runs, and that’s just the beginning of the work that was completed. Some dedicated folks cleaned out the community cat area, freshened up the bedding, and countless pallets were dragged to the front of the property where they are available for pick up. We fixed things and cleaned things, made and gave out yummy treats, and tried to make the shelter a more safe and comfortable place for the animals, the volunteers, and the staff.
Thank you to this huge amazing group of people who showed up to help out today!
Volunteers are now being accepted for the 2021 6 ABC/Dunkin Thanksgiving Day Parade on November 25, 2021 in Philadelphia, PA!
