When our friends at Phoenix Animal Rescue told us that their scale broke, Philadoptables knew we had to help!
Phoenix Animal Rescue has saved so many animals from the city shelter this year. The scale is very important to their lifesaving work as having an accurate weight on an animal is critical to making sure they receive the proper dosage of medication.
Thank you for your interest in becoming a Philadoptables volunteer! Volunteers are vital to the work we do and we truly appreciate those who are able to donate their time to help animals in our community.
With your commitment and assistance we will work together to help Philadelphia get closer to the goal of becoming a No Kill City! Ready to help us save lives?

Kolony Kats is an organization that provides for the outdoor cats in our community. The family centered organization cares for more than 70+ community cats living outdoors every single day! To say they are lifesaving heroes is an understatement!
To aide in their incredible work, we were honored to gift Kolony Kats with a brand new Hero Universal Microchip reader. The microchip reader will save their team so much time when trying to identify new cats along their route.

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.
