Clear the Shelters: Fee waived adoptions!

Clear the Shelters is here, and so are fee-waived adoptions! This nationwide, month-long lifesaving event has one goal: to find loving homes for as many pets as possible so we can open desperately needed shelter space to rescue more who are counting on us. To do that, we need YOU!

From August 1 – September 6, we’re calling on adopters AND fosters to help us save lives by welcoming a shelter pet (or pets!) into their home. Every animal who leaves the shelter opens a spot for us to rescue another from ACCT Philly or the community who has nowhere else to go. Please join us: there are so many ways to save lives!

– Adopt a dog: all month long, adoption fees are waived for large dogs 25 pounds and over! Browse and apply: phillypaws.org/adopt/dogs.
– Adopt a cat: adoption fees are waived for adult cats 6 months and over all month! Browse and apply: phillypaws.org/adopt/cats.
– Foster a pet (or pets): foster appointments are available all month, so sign up today at phillypaws.org/foster!
– Join us Saturday, September 6: Clear the Shelters will culminate with fee-waived cat and kitten adoptions at PAWS’ Old City and PetSmart Adoption Center (1415 Washington Ave)! Apply and get approved in advance, then meet your new feline family member at either location starting at 11am (PetSmart adoptions run through 2pm and Old City runs through 5pm).

A special thank you to our friends at Apex Gaming PCs, who are helping cover a portion of adoption fees during Clear the Shelters in honor and memory of their beloved PAWS cat, Charlie.
