Support for Two Dogs In Critical Need

Our friends at J & Co Dog Rescue stepped up to help two critically in need dogs, Reels and Chicago. We are always overjoyed to help support our community of rescue partners to lend a hand and help animals that need care. We are proud to donate $300 and $400 toward their care! Read below for updates:

From J & Co Dog Rescue “The past few weeks have been SUPER BUSY for our team… We’ve welcomed many new dogs to J & Co… And with that, comes medical bills and supply costs. If you follow our page, you know that most of our dogs require extensive or ongoing vet care – we need funds to keep going. With so many shelter dogs in need, we don’t ever want to turn a dog down because we can’t afford it. We don’t carry balances with vet offices. Supply costs have been on the rise… We supply our fosters with food, monthly flea/tick/hw and it’s time to order again! All the new dogs we took in recently are just getting started with their medical care… And have a way to go! Even our “healthy” dogs require medical prior to adoption – all our dogs are utd on vax, chipped, hw tested and altered prior to adoption. If you can drop us a few bucks, we’d really appreciate it!”

“A BIG Welcome to Chicago! Chicago has burns all over his body and is emaciated… And he’s ready to leave that old life behind!! Thank you to all involved with getting him to safety He will be in the best of hands with his fosters! There will obviously be a lot of medical expenses for Chicago – if you’d like to donate!

Chicago is a 3-year-old male that came in as a stray in early July. Chicago is the sweetest boy! Upon intake, he was very skinny, covered in burns, and emaciated. Despite this, Chicago is a truly remarkable dog. He shows incredible resilience and strength despite his pain.

His injuries don’t stop his love either. Although he can be quite snappy when taking treats, he has been very sweet to our staff! With enough love and care, he will blossom into a loving and devoted dog.” Video update here.


“6/30 REELS is out of the shelter and on his way to vet! He just arrived at ACCT, unable to walk… We weren’t prepared to pull another, but couldn’t say no…. He’ll be in the best of hands with Natalie, but we have to figure out what’s going on with him! DONATIONS needed…. It’s also $5 Friday and those 5’s add up!! We need your help, friends… REELS needs us!

7/16 Reels is eating well & putting on some much needed weight. Although still weak in the hind end – he is walking better! Super sweet boy, receiving all the love & care he could possibly want, by his foster mom Natalie.

Your donations at work! We are so grateful to all who donate and share our posts… Lives like Reels are saved because of you!”

Love & Support For A Little Pup With A Broken Jaw

When we saw Sassy’s intake picture at ACCT Philly our hearts broke. She has a broken jaw and now we know she has other medical issues as well. We donated $400 to the rescue who pulled her into their care- DELCO DAWGS. As you can see below she is getting the care she needs but it is expensive.

If you have a few dollars Delco Dawgs can use your donations. ❤

Call VRC to donate 610.647.2950 or Venmo: @jill-speckman or Paypal: donatedelcodawgs@gmail.com

Update from Delco Paws: “SASSY UPDATE…2 broken jaws/mandibles, a possible fracture or herniated disc in vertebrae from an old injury. Loss of fur, skin allergy, a mouth full of rotten teeth all needing to be pulled when jaw surgery is done on Wednesday. She may lose the jaw completely if splinting cannot be done, the bone is so deteriorated. Her feeding tube is in, her feedings are being done thru the tube along with fluids while a tape muzzle holds her jaws together and mouth closed. This all needs to be addressed before the mammory masses. Mammary masses the doctor thinks are all associated with one gland on the right and are small. If that size, it is usually okay to just remove the affected gland and not do a whole chain mastectomy, which would be great news. 50% chance benign/malignant, but good news chest rads are clear so no mestastisis. It is recommended focusing on the jaw for now and once that has healed we can consider mass removal and spay in the future.

This little dog mustve experienced a great deal of pain and possible neglect. We owe $15,000 alone for IVORY along with thousands more. These local dogs would die without us. SASSY will be thousands and hospitalized at least 7 days. We need a foster for her when she is released end of next week and we need donations NOW, pls! Enter our raffle for the July getaway! Call VRC to donate 610.647.2950 or Venmo: @jill-speckman or Paypal: donatedelcodawgs@gmail.com

We are one of the only rescues taking in these abused, injured, ill, neglected dogs. Theyre dying, being euthanized, suffering and local. We cant so no, but we are drowing in debt we need donations please to get caught up and save more. Its heartbreaking. Heres where your money goes…”

Supporting Our Community During Kitten Season

The term “kitten season” may sound like a magical season filled with cute and cuddly baby felines. While baby cats are unbelievably cute, thousands of them can enter shelters within weeks, making kitten season the most challenging time of the year in rescues and shelters nationwide.

Here in Philly, since we experienced a warmer winter than usual, kitten season began early and animal welfare warriors felt the pressure sooner than expected.

With a warmer season and influx of new kittens, local resources were sparse and organizations had to provide even more care than usual.

We remain dedicated to supporting cats and kittens in our community and through kitten season outreach, we’re pleased to provide over $8,000+ to local organizations! To help our local rescue friends provide life-saving and critical care to breeding cats and kittens in need, we set out to support as many organizations as possible.

Thank you to our rescue friends listed below for their service and dedication to kitten season and our cat friends who need us most.

  • Community Cat Club
  • Lucky You Animal Rescue
  • Calla’s Critter Rescue
  • Feline Urban Rescue and Rehab
  • Foxy’s Cradle
  • Cat Tales, Inc.
  • Second Chances Rescue
  • Lucky Dawg Animal Rescue
  • Charlie’s Army Animal Rescue
  • Voorhees Animal Orphanage
  • Cheshire Cat Rescue & Sanctuary
  • PALS
  • PURR/TCC
  • Kitkat Playroom
  • Randall’s Rescue

Interested in helping cats and kittens? You can help too! Donations and foster parents are needed now more than ever. By opening your heart and home up to a kitten (or a litter and maybe mama!) you not only save fragile lives, you also free up valuable resources in the sheltering community.

Senior Duo Rescued From Abandoned House

Louie and Lucie get a new chance at love and life!

After being found in an abandoned home with visible signs of neglect, our friends at Noah’s Ark Rescue Project and Sanctuary stepped up to save their lives.

We are honored to donate $400 toward their second chance at the love and life they deserve.

Update from NARP: This senior pair was found in a filthy, abandoned house. No one really knows how long they were fending for themselves. They are sadly snuggling at the shelter and have no idea that they are about to die. 💔

They are both scared in the shelter, and are only happy when they are together.🥺 Lucie and Louie are estimated to be about 9 years old with skin/ear/eye infections, broken teeth, some and hearing loss. They are both sweet and low key, medium sized pups. They both had good meets with other dogs. 😢

Thanks to NARP, generous supporters, and a loving foster, Louie and Lucie are SAFE!
