Story
Meet Lexus. She came in to the shelter after being hit by a car and her owners never came to get her. She is shy but once she trusts you she is a love. Unfortunately, we think as a result of being hit by the car her tail was damaged. Originally it was thought she would need her tail amputated but the body is truly amazing. Lexus is slowly regaining movement in her tail!! She will be given more time to heal, the potential adopter should be aware that in the future it may be an issue, but we think her body deserves a chance. We are looking for a home with no small children, but she is dog friendly. Are you ready to step up where her owners didn’t and help this lady out of the shelter??

Tofu is a little spit fire. He loves to walk and play in the yard with friends. He is full of energy that he needs to burn off. He will need a home that is active and doesn't have some small kids. He loves to play ball and then climb up on the couch and watch a movie. He is a little bundle of love. He is neutered, fully vaccinated, and chipped. He can be tranported anywhere in the US and Canada. ##1508381##

Story
Meet Allie! Our vet estimates her to be 8yrs old and she has been spayed. Allie weighs about 50lbs.  We wanted the vet to check her right eye since it presents somewhat smaller than the left eye. The vet agreed that it was most likely trauma from goodness knows how long ago. Upon testing, she does have limited sight in that eye but nothing that really effects her.  She has gone through and recovered from much needed FHO surgery since she had some old trauma to her right rear leg as well as treatment for Lyme.  She absolutely adores attention from people so we think she didn't have much in her past :( She walks fine on a leash and is housetrained. Occasionally you'll see her with a toy but it's not a standard thing for her. The foster she is with is certain that right now, she is the most grateful dog in the house - her sighs of contentment while getting a belly rub for no reason says it all.  While she currently lives with other dogs in fostercare, it took us months for her to accept and trust them. But with slow & steady crate rotations, introductions & limited interactions, she has become part of the pack.  She should not be in a home with cats though is our gut feeling.  Check out our site for an application to make Allie a part of your family and FaceBook for adoption event details. (www.endingthesadness.org) Our adoption fee is $325 and all of our pets come with full vet records. All animals are up to date on vaccinations & dewormed. Please keep in mind we are a Rescue Group and most of our pups come to us with little or no background info regarding breed, eventual size, age or prior health issues. We rely on the expertise of our veterinarians and make estimates based on past experience. Also, when you're adopting from a Rescue, you should ask questions! You should always get shot/medication records and the rescue should have had the dog for a bit of time to check for disease. Take the time to educate yourself before adopting. A reputable rescue will have nothing to hide and will answer ALL your questions!!! Please visit our Web Site to see all of the pets we have for adoption. Our site contains information about our adoption process and fees, our application, and answers to frequently asked questions. Please read it carefully before contacting us. If you are interested in adopting THIS wonderful pet, we strongly encourage you to complete our adoption application now. Once we receive and approve your application, we will notify you of approval. The first application to be received and approved will get 1st choice - be sure that your references are available and willing to speak with us. Thank You Visit us at one of our next adoption days. Details are on our site under the How to Adopt tab. Hope to see you there!May 13, 2026, 12:06 am

Story
Hunter & Marley This beautiful father–daughter duo lost everything when their beloved owner passed away. A devoted  local  family member stepped in and gave them a home for the past year, but with two dogs already and strict housing rules, they were left with an impossible choice. With heavy hearts, they had to say goodbye. Now Hunter and Marley are starting over…together, just like they’ve always been. Hunter ( black,  8.5 years, 55 lbs) is the gentle, steady dad  -  a black Lab/Shar Pei mix with the sweetest soul. Marley ( yellow,  6 years, 51 lbs) is his loyal girl, always by his side. Their bond is undeniable, and after all they’ve been through, we are determined to keep them together. Hunter came to us needing some extra care  -  he wasn’t neutered and suffers from entropion, a painful eyelid condition. We’ve taken care of his neuter and will be handling his eye surgery so he can finally feel comfortable and pain-free. Through it all, these two have remained incredibly loving, calm, and devoted to each other. They are the kind of dogs who just want a soft place to land, a family to love, and each other. After so much loss and change, Hunter and Marley deserve a forever home where they can stay side by side  -  safe, loved, and never separated again.  They would love a fenced yard to have room to roam and play. They are housebroken and walk pretty well on the leash.   If you have room in your heart and home for two amazing souls, please consider giving them the happy ending they’ve been waiting for.  *Per JSAC policy, puppies and kittens under 6 months will not be adopted to families with children under the age of 6 years.May 16, 2026, 12:49 pm

Story
Bella is an adorable petite bunny-eared girl weighing just 42 pounds who is a sweet, wiggly, and shy lady, Bella doesn’t ask for much; she loves the simple things like hanging out with her family and going on walks. Bella has a reserved yet affectionate demeanor. Adopted in 2022 after being turned in to ACCTPhilly as a stray, Bella spent several happy years with her owner until they surrendered her back to the ACCT Philly in February 2026. When her second stay there became too long and with dozens of dogs entering the shelter daily, Bella was Timestamped. Fortunately, we were able fo pull her and she is now blossoming in her foster home! Bella does have a noted history of resource guarding dating back to her original shelter stay, but with proper management and separation for meals and fun chews, she has shown she is completely capable of living with another dog and she has a history of being okay with cats. With her behavioral needs in mind, Bella requires a loving household that is equipped to manage her resource guarding, and ensure that any food or high-value items are given under supervision and while Bella is separated from any other resident pets. With additional training and proper management of her known behavioral needs, Bella is sure to bring light, love, and joy to her new family. Bella loves cuddles, loves going for walks and walks well on leash, loves to talk to her people using grunts and groans.
