**Update: Adopted**

Frankie’s paperwork says he likes to sleep under the blankets and have his feet rubbed.

Charlie’s says he’s a lap dog.

They’re both used to being groomed every three months.

Little details like these might seem insignificant, but to us, they say everything. These were dogs who were loved. Really, really loved.

Frankie and Charlie are a senior father-and-son duo who have spent their entire lives together. Charlie has never known life without his dad.

But after a death in the family and other difficult life changes, their owner was faced with an impossible choice. They made the heartbreaking decision to surrender them to us, trusting that we would keep them safe and give them the care they deserved.
And we take that responsibility seriously.

We’re so grateful we could open our doors to Frankie and Charlie when they needed us. Your continued support made it possible for us to say yes.

Now, we’re hoping for one more yes.

A family who will see two senior dogs and two lives still worth loving. A family who will let them sleep under the blankets, rub Frankie’s feet, give Charlie all the laps he wants, and most importantly, let these two boys spend their golden years together.

If you’re interested in adopting Frankie and Charlie, come meet them at our shelter any time between 12-6pm. Please bring everyone who lives in your home, along with any current dogs and their vaccination records.

All these two need now is a home that will love them both for all the years they have left.

When we say Bella Lynn is the friendliest dog ever, we mean it!

This girl was SO happy and wiggly to see all of our friends at NBC10 Philadelphia that she got a little too excited and accidentally opened up her spay incision. 😅 So, we made a quick trip back to the shelter to get her all fixed up.

But don’t worry - Bella Lynn is good as new, feeling great, and ready to find her forever home!

If you’re looking for a sweet, social, happy-go-lucky pup who thinks everyone is her best friend, Bella Lynn is your girl. Come meet her!

It breaks our hearts to see some of our most deserving dogs continue to wait.

At all of our sites, senior dogs are waiting longer and longer to find their forever families. And sadly, none of our large senior pups at our Philadelphia headquarters found a home last weekend.

But here’s what we wish more people knew - senior dogs are amazing. We already know their personalities, their favorite things, their routines, and oftentimes how they’ll be in a home.

They may have a little more gray, a little less energy, and more years behind them, but that just means they have so much love to give.

Their best years don’t have to be behind them. They just need someone to give them a chance.

While we’re on the subject of perfect short-and-stout pitties... let us introduce you to Dragonfly!

This adorable 5-month-old puppy was recently surrendered to us when her previous owners could no longer care for her. Understandably, she’s a little shy in the shelter, but we’re already starting to see glimpses of the happy, playful little girl underneath.

Her zoomies are absolutely the best, and those floppy ears? We simply cannot get enough.

Dragonfly is ready to find a home where she can come out of her shell, be her silly puppy self, and get all the love she deserves. She’s open to meeting other dogs and kids, too!

Stop by our shelter any day between 12-6:30pm to meet her.

If you love a pocket pittie, you’re going to ADORE Bella Lynn. 😍

This sweet girl is as affectionate as the come and her favorite place in the world is to be cuddled in someone’s lap. We know someone out there is looking for a no-so-tiny lap dog, which is exactly why she was chosen as this weeks The NEW 96.5 Bennett’s Buddy!

Bella Lynn is currently healing from some skin issues, but is on the right path and healing already. She’s open to meeting kids and other dogs.

Stop by the shelter to meet her today!

We’re currently FULL of some seriously cool cats!

We’ve got the cats with the unforgettable faces, the cats with the funniest little quirks, the cats who demand to be the center of attention, and the cats who will quietly win you over the second you sit beside them.

Different looks. Different personalities. Different ways of showing you they love you.

Basically, there’s a cat here for everyone. You just have to come meet them!
