Philadoptables

Thank You for Another Great Year at Camp Out for Hunger!

The 2017 Camp Out for Hunger was a huge success! Philadoptables would like to make a point to thank WMMR, The Preston and Steve Show, Pet Valu, all of the businesses and individuals that contributed pet food donations, and of course all of the volunteers that made this possible.

Just as there are homeless people in need, there are also many homeless animals in our area that go without. All of the donations that we have collected will help stock up the pet food pantry, feed and help animals at ACCT Philly, as well as animals that are in foster care through our local rescue partners. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!

Camp Out For Hunger 2017

We are looking for businesses, offices, schools, and individuals to collect donated pet food for Camp Out for Hunger 2017.

Many people don’t know that Philadoptables stocks a pet food pantry for people who cannot feed their pets. Over 300 animals are helped monthly! In 2010 Philadoptables was approached to collect pet food at WMMR’s The Preston & Steve Show’s Camp out For Hunger. This drive has been a people-food drive since its inception but the guys were kind enough to see the effect the economy was having on animals and their families. Collected food goes to families in need, foster parents of Philly’s animal control shelter and rescue partners who pull animals from the Philly shelter and into their loving care.

This will be our EIGHTH year being part of this amazing event! Philadoptables’ preparation begins a few months in advance as we start identifying locations to place collection boxes – schools, offices, stores, everywhere we can think ok! Our volunteers are amazing and all collected food is brought to the BIG EVENT – November 27th through December 1st at Xfinity Live! Email us if you can help feed hungry animals!

Traditionally Preston and Steve have lived in an RV for a week while conducting live shows out of a giant tent. This week long event is super fun but more importantly – everyone there is donating people and pet food of those in need. As we ramp up for Camp Out 2017, we need your help more than ever! We are looking for folks to help collect donated pet food – we provided a letter of introduction and flyers here. Need posters and collection boxes? Let us know!!

Follow us on Facebook for updates as we ramp up to the event. Your help is needed to make this year a success!

Philadoptables Supplies New Microscopes for ACCT Philly Clinic

“Our microscope is broken. Do you think Philadoptables can help?”
YES!

Turns out the microscope we bought in 2011 for ACCT Philly was in need of new lenses and we placed the order for the replacements. We also purchased a brand new scope so that all things gooey and crusty could be looked at. Thanks to the clinic staff for taking good care of the homeless babies!

It is only through YOUR support that we can continue to help Philadelphia’s homeless pets when they need it most. Join us and give today!

Shelter Clean Up Day Recap


Thank you to all the amazing volunteers who showed up and helped out to make our 2017 Clean Up Day a huge success!

Outside we repaired play yard fencing and improved the runs with canopies, trash cans and swimming pools. We also refreshed the flower beds, cleared weeds and spruced up the grounds. Indoors we got to work on repairing Kuranda dog beds as well as bringing in some new ones so that all of our shelter friends have a nice place to sleep tonight.

Check out more photos of our big day here.

Many thanks to The Arrimour Group for their generous donation of beautiful plant material.
