ACCT Philly is committed to providing all visitors with a supportive, friendly, safe and positive environment.
Our staff, volunteers, and partners are expected to uphold standards of conduct, promote a civil community and help maintain a positive working environment for everyone who dedicates their time to the animals in our care and those who visit to utilize our services. Visiting patrons are asked to treat others as they would like to be treated, and to follow a general code of conduct.
We believe that all visitors are entitled to a safe, empathetic, professional and supportive environment with mutual respect and courtesy.

Photographers
Quality photos of animals that advertise their amazing personalities increase opportunities to find a forever home!
Transporters
Our transfer partners and foster parents often need help with transporting the animals they are saving! Driver’s license required.
Dog/Cat Socialization
A shelter can be stressful for dogs and cats. Participating in socialization can decrease stress and increase adoptability!
Event Leaders
Adoption, Community, and Fundraising events are a great occasion to promote the shelter, recruit new volunteers and spotlight adoptable animals!
