Unfortunately, ACCT Philly is not able to provide low-cost veterinary services for pet owners. Rather than surrendering your pet to the shelter for euthanasia, we would like to provide you with some alternatives. We are unable to treat severely ill or injured animals in our shelter. All sick or injured pets will be assessed by our veterinary staff. If your pet is very ill or severely injured and we are unable to find a rescue group immediately, your pet may be humanely euthanized.
