Staying in town for the holidays? Spread some holiday cheer by fostering a four-legged friend who needs you! We have many animals urgently seeking foster homes at the shelter right now, and the holidays are an especially challenging time for our foster program. Not only do we see a dip in foster sign-ups at the shelter due to the busy holiday season, but many of our current fosters find themselves in need of temporary sitters for their foster pets due to holiday travel plans.

They’re cute, they’re cuddly, and they need your help! PAWS is seeking kitten fosters now and throughout the rest of kitten season this spring and summer. Foster care is where animal lovers like you volunteer to take home and care for a homeless pet (or pets) temporarily. Fosters are the reason we can save as many lives as we do, and they’re especially critical for young kittens who are too small and fragile to survive in the shelter. Fostering can last from a couple weeks to a couple months, an

We have a full house in our feline medical ward and fosters are needed now! Thumbelina, Prospero, Moon Jelly, Patchy, Peyton, and Patty Melt are incredibly sweet and would love to finish healing at your place. They’re all recovering from injuries and don’t need much beyond rest, basic oral meds, and lots of chin scratches ❤️‍🩹 Several cats needing medical care are waiting at ACCT Philly with no rescue prospects in sight, but PAWS can save them if we find homes for our current medical cases.

Dog fosters are urgently needed! PAWS’ kennels are completely full right now, and our ability to save at-risk dogs from the city shelter is directly tied to the number of fosters who can open their homes. Fostering is an incredibly rewarding experience, and spending even a couple of weeks in a home can have enormous health and behavior benefits for homeless dogs! PAWS can make a foster match for many types of households (although pet-free adult homes are especially needed!) and we’ll provide you

Shedding those extra pounds will help keep her joints happy and healthy as she ages.
