‘Filled to the brim’: Philly’s only open-intake animal shelter is in desperate need of adopters, fosters

ACCT Philly is offering $10 adoptions for all dogs and cats through March 23.

Calls from animal welfare rescue orgs seeking adopters, fosters, and donations have grown louder in recent weeks. But the number of pets entering the shelter hasn’t abated.

After an initial boost during the pandemic shutdown, the number of people willing to foster animals has plummeted, and Philly shelters are desperately seeking new applicants.
