Cool Treats in the Summer Time!

cool treats for summer time

ACCT Philly volunteers & staff work so hard all year round for the shelter babies! This past week has been very hot with another heat wave in Philly! Philadoptables wanted to say thank you to the dedicated volunteers & staff and cheerfully delivered Ice cream, Popsicles & Frozen Treats for them to enjoy! No matter what the weather, volunteers and staff work so hard for the shelter babies that they love!  We wanted to say Thank you and couldn’t think of a better way to do it!  Pictured is:  Taylor from lifesaving at ACCT Philly.

So who’s idea was it to get all these hunks together with their adopted hounds anyway? Check out Marilyn’s conversation with Michelle Helms, President & Founder, Philadoptables, Inc. to find out. And this year, you’ve got the bonus November and December Hunks :-). This is a great time of year to share the awesome work of Philadoptables…plenty of babies looking for a new home for the Holidays!

Philadoptables and Puro-Tec complete construction on a play yard roof for the dogs!

play yard collage

It all started in April 2012 with a request from the shelter director to make a dog play yard for the homeless pups of Philadelphia. From there we built five more but our project has been incomplete this whole time. There were many distractions, setbacks, and much frustration but we are proud to say that the play yard roof at the shelter has been completed!! There is now a roof so that dogs can exercise, play, and relax in any weather. We could not have done this alone, there are countless people to thank. We would like to thank Petco Foundation and our amazing supporters who donated to this project. We also need a give a HUGE thank you to our friends at Puro-Tec LTD for getting this project completed! They went through hours of back and forth with the city to get the correct permits and never gave up! They also donated their general contracting time to oversee this project through to completion. THANK YOU!
Philadoptables is pleased to donate the space to the volunteers and homeless dogs of Philadelphia!
