Meet Domino – Our Dog of the Week!

Every dog has a story, and Domino’s is one of resilience and hope.

Late one cold November night, Domino was found tied up and abandoned by local police. She was brought to a municipal shelter as a stray, waiting quietly and patiently for someone to notice her. When we learned about Domino, we knew we couldn’t let her spirit fade away. We welcomed her into our rescue – and she has blossomed ever since!

Today, Domino is thriving in her foster home and is ready to find her forever family. She’s about a year and a half old, house-trained, crate-trained, and sleeps soundly through the night – what a polite girl! 💤

Domino’s sweet personality shines through every day. She adores playing fetch, tug-of-war, and spending time with other dogs and children. While she can be a bit unsure in new environments and feels anxious around busy roads (understandable given her past), she has made incredible progress in her foster home, gaining confidence and learning to trust.

Now, Domino is looking for a patient, caring family to call her own – a family that will give her the love and security she deserves for the rest of her days.

Meet Our Dog of the Week… CHASE!

This handsome 2-year-old black Lab mix was rescued from a Philly shelter just in time—and he’s ready to steal your heart! 💘

🎾 Chase is all about fun—he loves chasing balls, carrying sticks, and dominating a good game of tug-of-war. With his playful spirit and boundless energy, he’d thrive with a work-from-home adopter or an active family that can keep up with his enthusiasm.

✅ Crate trained
✅ 100% potty trained (no accidents!)
✅ Neutered, microchipped, and fully vaccinated
✅ Knows sit, paw, down, and high five
✅ Great with other dogs!

🐱 He’s shown curiosity toward a cat but hasn’t had direct interaction yet.
👧 Because he’s still learning his strength, we recommend supervision around young kids during playtime.

Chase is a smart, affectionate companion who plays hard and naps even harder—he loves curling up by your bed after a full day of adventures. 🐶🖤

If you’re looking for a loyal, loving pup to keep you on your toes (and steal your socks), Chase is your guy!

From Crisis to Compassion: Helping a Sweet Stray in Need

Early Wednesday morning, we received an email from a local emergency vet that tugged at our hearts:

“A Good Samaritan dropped off this cat overnight that was likely hit by a car & has a jaw fracture. He was wearing a collar but does not have a chip. He’s about a year old & not neutered. He is the SWEETEST boy. We are trying to find a rescue to sponsor him so that he can see our dentist on Friday. Please let me know if you can be of any help!!”

Our answer was simple: YES, we can.

Philadoptables immediately sprang into action—posting the urgent request to our rescue network and pledging a $300 donation toward his care. Within hours, the amazing team at Charlie’s Army stepped up to take this injured sweetheart under their wing.

While we’re grateful he’s now in loving hands, this journey is far from over. A sedated dental visit to repair his jaw fracture will cost thousands—a huge financial burden for a rescue working tirelessly to help animals like him.

We’re calling on our incredible community to help us give this boy the second chance he deserves. 💛

Please consider donating a few dollars to support his care: Venmo @Marie-gutshall
Every bit makes a difference.

Together, we’re not just saving lives—we’re showing what compassion looks like in action.

Shelter Cleanup Day at ACCT Philly: Volunteers Making a Difference!

On Saturday, April 5th, our incredible Philadoptables volunteers gathered at ACCT Philly for a much-needed shelter cleanup — and wow, did they deliver!

Despite a little resistance from Mother Nature, our dedicated crew rolled up their sleeves and got to work. From the moment they arrived, the energy was high and the results were even higher.

Here’s just a glimpse of what was accomplished:

  • ✅ Sorting lots (and we mean lots) of linen donations
  • 🌿 Trimming overgrown weeds and bushes
  • 🧹 General yard and trash clean-up
  • 🛏️ Repairing Kuranda dog beds
  • 🔧 Building shelving units for the dog isolation area and laundry trailer
  • 🧼 Scrubbing cat cages until they sparkled
  • 🧺 Tackling loads of laundry
  • 🐶 Whipping up tasty doggie treats
  • 🐾 Assembling adoption packets

…and yes, there was even more linen sorting!

Every volunteer brought heart, hustle, and hands-on help to improve life at the shelter for the animals and staff alike. It’s incredible what can be accomplished in just one day when passionate people come together for a cause they care about.

We can’t thank our volunteers enough for their time, effort, and dedication. Stay tuned for some amazing photos from the day — because this kind of love and teamwork deserves to be shared.

THANK YOU, EVERYONE!
