Bullseye is such a ham!
We've fallen head over heels for this senior man. Bullseye was found as a stray, severely overweight and a little weak in his back legs due to the strain from supporting his body. That hasn't stopped him from living it up whenever he can though, and he never fails to put a smile on our faces with his silly ways. This gentle soul wants nothing more than human companionship- he'll be instantly devoted to you as soon as you give him some head scratches, and will give your hand a nose nudge if you stop. We guarantee that if you meet him, you'll feel the same!
Bullseye gets along with humans of all ages, dogs, cats, and probably llamas. He's looking for a special family who can help him lose weight and keep his back legs healthy. Email dogs@phillypaws.org to find out more.
Homeless kittens need your help!
Our kitten nursery is completely full and we've had fewer foster parents coming in than usual. With no open spaces, we're unable to save any more litters from the city shelter, where more animals are arriving than there is room for. We are especially in need of fosters who can take moms with babies: they occupy our double cages, so when we send them home it allows us to save double the amount of orphaned kittens.
Whether you have fostered before or would like to give it a try for the first time, we are here to provide you with all the guidance and support that you need! It only takes 4-8 weeks, and even if you have pets at home, all you need is a spare room. We have foster kittens available at our Northeast and Grays Ferry locations (including the family pictured below)!

Lyla found her forever family, complete with a new dog sibling!
This social butterfly wants to be friends with everyone she meets- dog or human!- so we couldn't have been happier to send her to a home that has both. From adopters Melissa and Brett: "Lyla is doing fantastic at her new home!! We are so in love with her as is her big sister, Lola. Thank you again for everything!"
A very big thanks to YOU, Melissa and Brett!

We were thrilled to send long-term resident Blanche Devereaux into foster care this weekend, but she's still searching for her forever home!
This fabulous lady was found as a stray, but her full figure told us that she must have belonged to someone previously. Blanche came to us from the city shelter in October, and has had a hard time finding an adopter who appreciates her sassy ways. Her big personality quickly made her a staff favorite though, and we love her even when she's giving us stink eye. If you're looking for a low-maintenance companion who will keep you entertained, Blanche is your girl!
Blanche is 4 years old and needs an adult-only home where she can keep up with her diet. Learn more at phillypaws.org/adopt
