![]() ![]() Grant funds will go directly toward expanding the scope and volume of services at our clinic so that we can be there for more of the pets and people who need us most! The “Accelerator” low-cost veterinary care grant program is a key part of this effort, and PAWS is honored to be awarded $200,000 to support the expansion of our Grays Ferry clinic. PetSmart Charities has committed $100 million over the next five years toward improving access to veterinary care to ensure more pets thrive at home and stay out of shelters. Overwhelmingly, people consider their pets important members of the family. We’re thrilled to be a accelerator grantee so we make an even bigger difference for pets like Tina and their owners! Pluto will definitely brighten up your day once you bring him home!Įmail to learn more about fostering sweet and silly Pluto! He’s also available for adoption, so find him on our adoptions page at our bio link!. ![]() Pluto is both crate trained and housebroken as well! He’s also spent time around kids, and while he was a bit of a bulldozer, he was very sweet with them. His previous owner shared that Pluto is a highly dog social, and can live with dog friends both big and small. His holiday foster boasted of how well mannered he was at home, and said he mostly just wanted to play with his toys, then crash for a nap.īeing only 1 year old, Pluto`s main priorities are playtime, and being where the action is. Pluto is a fun loving guy who has charmed us with his goofy and outgoing personality. He’s been an absolute delight during his shelter breaks, and is desperate to find a foster home where he can decompress and show off what a fantastic pup he is! Urgent: Pluto needs a foster ASAP! Our buddy is so relaxed in a home but he is stressed to the max in our kennels. Once with nowhere to turn, sick and injured pets like Bambi will now find a way out of the shelter and into the safe and loving homes they deserve - all thanks to your support!. Now Bambi is in a caring foster home and ready to find her new family! PAWS was able to step forward and give her the care she needed: surgical removal of multiple masses in her mouth and ongoing treatment for painful arthritis. A sweet and social senior, Bambi arrived at the city shelter as a stray needing more medical care than the shelter could provide. Your kindness will enable us to be ready and able to say YES to at-risk pets like Bambi, who are desperately seeking their second chance. Your compassion is already saving the lives of Philadelphia’s most vulnerable cats, dogs, and small animals! On behalf of all them, we thank you for opening your heart, being generous, and standing with us. Our jaws are on the floor! Thanks to your generosity, we blew past our Medical Relief Fund goal and raised over $127,000 for critically sick and injured pets that will find hope, healing, and safety at PAWS this year.

In his short time with PAWS so far, Drew has become an integral part of our team at PAWS and we hope he stays with us for many years to come! I volunteered with both cats and dogs because I do love both equally! A favorite moment is during the morning shift when you get the cat room to go from loud and meowy to quiet and content is amazing." "I love volunteering at PAWS because I recognize that it is a group of like-minded people who love what they do and are always willing to roll up their collective sleeves to get the work done. Anything that I can do to take tasks off of someone`s plate to free them up for other important work, I am happy to do! I see a small and mighty team that is doing a ton of good for the pet population (and by proxy) the people of Philadelphia!"Īlong with working in the shelter, he mentioned having a blast working at our modified Mutt Strut, learning the ropes with fellow volunteer, Lois. "I`m able to provide admin work support now one day a week at PAWS and I find that very fulfilling.
