ACCT Pen Pals

The Animal Care & Control Shelter of Philadelphia has a number of dogs who have been waiting longer than others for an adoptive home. These dogs are smart, loving, healthy, behaviorally adoptable dogs who, after spending so long in the shelter environment, may not appear as adoptable. These "long term residents" often exhibit depression or kennel stress, hurting their chances at adoption. There are also many dogs who, due to their breed or presence in the kennel, tend to be overlooked by adopters. The ACCT Life Saving Department's Pen Pal Program aims to improve the quality of life for these dogs and prioritize their adoption.

You can meet the Pen Pals at 111 W. Hunting Park Ave. Philadelphia, PA 19140. Email ACCTPenPals@gmail.com for more information!
