Rocco the Rottie Saved Just in Time

Our friends at Kodi’s Club sprung into quick action to save dog that was found suffering from heat stroke.

“A Rottie was just found laying in lateral recumbency at a city park and having a heat stroke. ACO was called. He’s in bad shape. Temp was 106, now just under 107. Finding an ER was not easy. Mt Laurel thankfully is taking him. Pray he makes it. They’re calling him Rocco. Danielle is racing him there now. 😢🙏” Kodi’s Club Facebook

After a few days of round-the-clock care, Rocco finally stood up! He has been transferred to a veterinary hospital close to Kodi’s Club volunteers for additional love and care.

Kodi’s Club saved Rocco and we are proud to donate towards his lifesaving care. Our paws are crossed that Rocco feels better soon!

Helping Improve The Quality of Life for Outside Dogs One Sun Shade At a Time

We love helping our community rescue partners! An update from our friends at Side Paws below.

“Improving the quality of life for outside dogs takes time, persistence, patience, and resources. We dramatically improved these dogs lives and there’s still more we want to do. There are also so many others that need our help.

Without volunteers and financial support, we can’t continue to make a difference for dogs that live outside in Philly. We need your help.

Special thanks to Philadoptables and individual donors for the sunshades!”

Vito Feels Like A New Man

Our friends at Side Paws were recently contacted about a senior dog in critical need. We just had to help by donating toward his medical care!

From Side Paws “When a client asked if we could help a family member’s senior dog, we didn’t hesitate.

Thanks to Philadoptables, PAWS (Philadelphia Animal Welfare Society), and Providence Animal Center we got Vito the vet care he desperately needed.

Please send good vibes and prayers as we await his biopsy results.”

New Air Conditioner and Heater for Phoenix Animal Rescue

Last week, Phoenix Animal Rescue needed immediate support when their air conditioner stopped working. Being 20+ years old, the only option was to replace the unit and quickly.

With over 70 dogs in their care and endless veterinary bills, replacing the unit immediately was not in the budget.

PAR reached out to their social media followers and McCaffery Mechanical for dire help. Within 24 hours, Bill from McCaffery Mechanical provided the repairs at a discounted rate, and both units were fully replaced! Philadoptables is proud to support PAR and donated $500 towards the repairs! Thanks to McCaffery Mechanical and everyone that donated, the kennel is once again cool. The new systems will cut down on heating and cooling costs, future repairs, and will make a world of a difference to PAR.

Animal welfare is never predictable. No two days are alike and you never know what the day will bring. What we can always count on, are generous supporters that enable us to continue supporting rescue organizations in our community!

Urgently Needed Sun Shades Donated to Outdoor Animals

We are proud to support and highlight the amazing work Side Paws (previously known as Gimme Shelter Philly) does!

It is emotional. It is physical. It is unending. Please like, follow, support, donate- whatever they need, let’s help them out. Some dog owners walk the line of the law- our friends make life better for these pups left outdoors. Last month, Philadoptables donated tarps to provide life saving shade to outdoor dogs. Thanks to your support, we will continue to help them, help dogs in need.

An update from Side Paws:

“Over the weekend we installed some of the sun shades that were so generously donated by Philadoptables and individual supporters.

Access to shade makes a HUGE difference for dogs that live outside. It can literally be lifesaving. Sheba, Buddy, Phat Boy and the other sweeties (not pictured here) say THANK YOU!”
