I've known Michelle for a while now and I just recently had to privilege to work on their calendar to raise money for shelters in the area. I love what they do, and since I used to work for one of the shelters they raised money for I was honored to be a part of it!

I recently worked with Philadoptables on a calendar to raise money for rescue pets. It was a great experience and lots of fun. Everybody who donated their time and money were kind, caring people with good attitudes and compassionate hearts.

Its been a pleasure to be on the board of Philadoptables.
Philadoptables is an incredible organization working to save the lives of abused and abandoned animals of Philadelphia. They will an important gap that exists between city services and the public without which many animals would not find their way out of the city shelter and to new adoptive parents.

I am a volunteer for ACCT in Philadelphia and I cannot say enough good things about Philadoptables. They provide so many needed items to the City of Philadelphia open intake shelter. Medical equipment, play yard equipment, food, treats, harnesses, collars, toys, and so much more. They even built new play yards for the pups to have fun in. Philadoptables ROCKS!

We support Philly's animal control shelter whose annual intake of unwanted animals was over 33,000 in 2012! Some of our work: donating medical supplies and equipment, supporting adoption events, celebrating shelter volunteers, stocking a pet food pantry for people in need, building 6 shelter dog play yards at ACCT Philly and more. Philadoptables is made up of volunteers. We have little in the way of expenses- donated dollars go right to the animals!
It means the world to me to be doing this life-saving work. xo

I can't say enough good things about Philadoptables. They are so very helpful. I have two fosters with ACCT and they have been there everytime I needed something. They even help to find good loving families for the foster dogs by holding events and even promoting the animals for the foster parents There even wonderful to the community to make sure every pet owner who can't afford pet food gets food for their pet. I can even list all the excellent things they have done to ACCT to keep the dogs happy and stress free. They truly are an excellent organization
