A few weeks ago, we were contacted by a man named KJ looking for advice. A pit bull appeared in his neighbor’s alleyway and he noticed that the dog was outside all the time over the course of a few days. One morning KJ went to the fence and saw that the dog looked cold, wet, and hungry. He fed him through the fence and was saddened to realize how neglected this friendly pup was.
This kindhearted man decided to do something. KJ wrote a note and put it in his neighbor’s mailbox. The note stated, “Please give me a call if you are unable to care for the dog outside.” The neighbor called and asked him to take their dog. KJ and his wife have a dog of their own and a 2-month-old baby, but this didn’t stop him from doing what he knew was right. He took the dog home, bathed him, and decided he would do whatever he could to find him a new home. He also named the dog Chance.
Philadoptables made arrangements to pay for Chance to be neutered, vaccinated, and microchipped at Emancipet’s Philly location. It’s always ideal for dogs to be spayed or neutered before being adopted to
control the population (and for health reasons!).
KJ had a friend that offered to hold Chance until a home was found after his neuter surgery. And you can imagine how this ended. The friend, named Duffy, fell in love with Chance and decided to adopt him. Chance now has a Newfoundland sister named Freyja and he is living his best life in his new home.
We decided to start April out strong by awarding a $500 grant to One Love Animal Rescue, Inc.
The grant was requested to provide aid to some very deserving cats. Adoptable Wink and Aquarius are special needs kitties that deserve humane care, love, and medical care — and OLAR is giving them just that! Wink has a damaged eye that may need possible surgery and Aquarius suffers from congenital incontinence. Philadoptables is thrilled to award OLAR this grant to assist with medical care and contribute to their lifesaving work.
The mission of One Love Animal Rescue Group is to rescue homeless animals, nurture them through foster care, and place them in permanent loving homes. They are passionate animal advocates who value the lives of these disadvantaged animals and recognize their enormous potential to be transformed into healthy and happy family pets. One Love promotes responsible pet ownership and encourages others in our community to be kind to all animals, to reduce pet overpopulation, and to join us in our mission to improve the outcomes of homeless animals.

Happy cats = happy life!
Last week, volunteers and team members of Philadoptables helped redo the cat meet and greet room in the Petco Foundation Welcome Center’s Kitty Corner at ACCT Philly. Installing cat shelves and wall-mounted cat beds will give these very deserving kitties a chance to roam around and socialize more outside of their kennels.
But wait, there’s more! The upgrades don’t stop here. In December of 2020, thanks to Philadoptables, generous Giving Tuesday supporters, and Jennifer Rice, and the Forman Family Foundation we donated $10,000 to ACCT Philly for Comfort Cages! This donation helped to ensure that the thousands of cats ACCT takes in each year don’t stay in noisy cages sleeping next to their litterbox, but instead, wait for homes in quieter, better ventilated, and more spacious housing, reducing stress and disease. The Comfort Cages for the adoption rooms will arrive soon and the cats will be rightfully spoiled even more. All made possible thanks to our community of supporters!
Teamwork makes the dream work! Read more about the donated Comfort Cages here
