UPDATE– Pet food donations needed- This is our 10th year in a row (TEN YEARS! ) collecting cat and dog food for the pet pantry. Our food drive will run for the next three weeks and cat and dog food donations can be dropped off at any of these convenient locations. ?
We are looking for businesses, offices, schools, and individuals to collect donated pet food during our annual pet food drive at Camp Out for Hunger 2019.
Many people don’t know that Philadoptables stocks a pet food pantry in Philadelphia for people who cannot feed their pets. Over 300 animals are helped monthly! In 2010 Philadoptables was invited to collect pet food at WMMR’s The Preston & Steve Show’s Camp Out For Hunger. This event is a food drive for people since its inception, but the show hosts were kind enough to see the effect the economy was having on animals and their families. Collected pet food goes to families in need, foster parents of Philly’s open intake shelter and rescue partners who pull animals from the Philly shelter and into their loving care.
This will be our TENTH year being part of this amazing event! WMMR radio hosts Preston and Steve live in an RV for a week while conducting live shows out of a giant tent. This week-long event is super fun but more importantly – everyone there is donating people and pet food of those in need.
Philadoptables’ preparation begins a couple months in advance as we start identifying locations to place collection boxes – schools, offices, stores, everywhere we can think of! Our volunteers are amazing, and all collected food is brought to the BIG EVENT – December 2- December 6 at Xfinity Live!
Email us at info@philadoptables.org if you can help feed hungry animals! We will provide a letter of introduction, collection boxes, 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!

ACCT Philly’s volunteer-led playgroup gives adopters and rescues more behavioral information on the dogs and provides much needed enrichment for the ‘dog social’ dogs.
When ACCT reached out to us about providing some supplies for play group, we said YES! Leashes, martingale collars, air horns, and storage containers help make play group safe and effective! Through your support, we were able to donate these items!
Our first annual charity golf outing was a tremendous success! We had 68 golfers register and we had the most perfect weather possible for early April. We were also extremely appreciative for the generosity of all of the golfers. We raised a good amount of money to further our animal rescue activity. Cedarbrook Country Club in Blue Bell, PA is a private course that provided a very enjoyable experience that most would not enjoy without being a member. And did we mention the food?! We received an abundance of positive feedback that makes us very excited to hold our second annual Charity Golf Outing in 2020. Thank you to our title sponsor, Pet Valu, and to all who helped make this such an incredible event!
February 9, 2018 was our 7 year anniversary as a non-profit. In celebration, we decided to give donations to 7 local rescues.
