The following is a message from the Philadelphia Animal Care and
Control Association:
This is an urgent plea for your help. The shelter is packed with dogs
whose lives depend on getting out -- into rescue, an adoptive home, or
a temporary foster home -- immediately.
The dogs are large and small, young and old, healthy and sick, and of
a variety of breeds. They are all desperately waiting for a chance at
life. We cannot house them all, and more are coming in all the time.
By taking one home, either temporarily or permanently, you give them
the chance at life they deserve and make room at the shelter for
another whose life depends on us having the space. Bull (below left)
is just one of the dozens of dogs at the shelter who are waiting for
you to save them today.
IF YOU CAN FOSTER, RESCUE, OR ADOPT AN ANIMAL: Come to the shelter
(111 W. Hunting Park Avenue) immediately. A staff person or volunteer
will be thrilled to help you find the right animal(s) for you to take
into safety. Assistance will be available until 8 p.m. tonight, and
from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. every day of the week. To make special
arrangements to come at another time of day, please email Natalie at
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
(please email only as a last resort; Natalie is inundated. It is
best to just come directly to the shelter.)
Directions to the shelter are available here:

More information about foster care is available here:

SPREAD THE WORD: Even if you can't adopt, rescue, bring a foster
animal home, you can still make an enormous difference and help save
countless lives.
- Please take a few moments NOW to forward this message to your
friends, colleagues, family -- anyone who might possibly be interested
in helping to save a life -- and encourage them to do the same.
- Post this urgent plea for help on online message boards/groups you
might be afilliated with, and ask fellow members to continue spreading
the word.
When the shelter is as crowded as it currently is, every moment
counts. Please do what you can to join us in saving lives. Thank you
in advance!
