New Doggie Play Yards

play_yard_Dog
After we built the large play yard last year we were asked if we could do it all over again! So…we did!  We built an even larger play yard and 4 additional play yards/dog socialization areas at ACCT Philly! The completion of these 5 shelter dog play yards marks the culmination of our largest project yet. Without our friends at Animal Farm Foundation believing in us, without our donors and friends, this build would not be possible. There are thousands of dogs that come through these shelter doors every year and while each and every dog that enters may not get a romp in these new play yards the ones that do will love it!  The play yards allow dogs to relax, decompress, run, burn off energy and even get silly.  Philadoptables strives to make the shelter stay better for dogs and with your help we are doing just that!

From the bottom of our furry little hearts, we THANK YOU!

Camp Out For Hunger 2013!

It is our favorite time of the year! This is Philadoptables’ fourth year collecting donated pet food with WMMR’s The Preston & Steve Show! This week- long on-site collection event features Philly’s favorite radio personalities living in RVs in a parking lot. This event has been collecting people food Philabundance for years and the guys saw the need to feed Philly’s homeless and hungry animals as well. Donated food to Philadoptables will be distributed to people in need, wonderful foster parents from Philly’s animal control shelter, ACCT Philly, and the amazing rescue partners who take animals from that shelter. RIGHT NOW folks like you are setting up pet food drives in their offices, retail locations, churches and schools. We will provide you with a letter explaining the event and posters to get you started. All collections must be dropped off to us by Friday, November 29th OR at the event Monday, December 2-Friday Dec 6 at Xfinity Live’s parking lot. Want to help? Please contact [email protected] or you can find out more on our Facebook page!

New Play Yard Project!

pp1If at first you don’t succeed…oh wait- we DID succeed and we are gonna do it again! Last year Philadoptables, with your help, constructed a giant doggie play yard at ACCT Philly. Our next project, starting in approx two weeks is twice as nice! TWO more new doggie play yards where dogs can run, jump, and play. Once that is done we will be moving to the other side of the building to replace the three damaged smaller dog runs with brand new safe fencing. All of this does not come cheap. We worked hard to win a grant from the cool people at Animal Farm Foundation but we are still $6,000 short of our construction goal.

We are currently looking for friends who would be willing to sponsor a run, which will help us to offset the costs of some of the fencing, fence inserts, benches and other necessities. Your generous donation will earn you a beautiful plaque with your name on a run of your choice, a special acknowledgment on our social media pages and a beautiful framed picture of a Philly shelter dog enjoying the new run.

Donations can be made by clicking the blue DONATE button on the Philadoptables’ Facebook page.
