Lovely Maria came to the shelter with a large wound on her chest, and is in need of a foster or permanent home. She’s a sweet 1- to 2-year-old girl who is playful and friendly! Please consider Maria, so she can heal from her wounds properly.
These animals are located at Philadelphia’s animal control shelter, ACCT. They need immediate adoption or foster care.
ACCT is located at 111 W Hunting Park Ave. and is open 365 days a year. Please check the PSPCA website for hours. To check the status of an animal, call 267-385-3800, email nsmith AT pspca.org or mdecker AT pspca.org.
Don’t forget to check out the weekly Animal Care & Control event at the Petsmart in Haldeman Plaza, where you can learn more about adoption and foster care, and meet some animals who need a good home.
