ACCT Philly is the only open intake animal shelter and animal care and control provider in Philadelphia, and takes in all animals – more than just dogs and cats!
We frequently take in bunnies, guinea pigs and other critters, including farm animals. Please make sure if you are interested in adopting a farm animal, that your zoning, HOA and city allows for it. Pigs, goats and chickens are currently not able to be adopted to residents of Philadelphia.
All critters are located at our shelter, at 111 W Hunting Park Ave, Philadelphia, PA.
How to adopt:
For animals located at the shelter, you can book an adoption appointment up to a week in advance or see what the wait time is for walk in appointments and add your name to the list here.
You can also now fill out an adoption application for critters before you come to the shelter!
This will expedite the process, as it allows us to have this information on hand when you arrive, as well as store it for the future! Please note that filling out an application does not place any kind of hold on an animal, nor does it guarantee an adoption. You will not be contacted after filling out an application, it will only be used if you come to the shelter for an animal you are interested in.
