It may always be sunny in Philadelphia for you and your beloved pet, but that does not mean that everyone’s Philly is the sunny, beautiful, loving place you are used to. In big cities such as Philadelphia, homeless dogs are a huge problem, and they often do not have the love and support they need in order to stay happy and healthy. Luckily, many wonderful organizations rescue dogs in need and provide them with food and shelter, and help them find a family that will appreciate their amazingness! This year, you can make a difference by donating!
PAWS is a non-profit organization that helps cats and dogs find homes and survive in the harsh city conditions. They are a no-kill shelter, and they accept your donations at any of their centers every day of the week. They always need laundry detergent and paper towels, canned food, trash and poop bags, toys, fleece blankets, and crates. Visit with holiday cheer and donate!
CNKP is a non-profit organization that is committed to making Philadelphia into a no-kill city! You can help them by stocking their Community Pet Pantry which helps dog owners in need to feed their pets every day. You can drop off your donations during any of their Community Pet Pantry events, or email them directly for another location if you can’t make it to the event.
Pennsylvania SPCA always needs essential supplies to help them take care of lonely and rescued pets. If you are available, you can volunteer, or you can drop off some of the much-needed supplies such as toys, tennis balls, food puzzles, treats, hot dogs, wet and dry food, collars, paper towels, bowls, fleece, and towels. This holiday season, visit them at 350 E. Erie Avenue.
If the name itself doesn’t make you chuckle with holiday joy, the brave work that the selfless volunteers are doing will. You can help them care for the pets struck by hard times by donating to them directly or bringing them dry food, toys, gift cards for pet stores, puppy food, kennels, or bowls at one of their many locations around Philadelphia.
Animal Care & Control Team of Philadelphia is the biggest animal care service provider in the region, and you can aid their noble cause by donating items to them directly. They need “Adopt Me” vests, towels, blankets, toys, canned and dry food, crates, stainless steel bowls, as well as dog agility equipment for their playroom! Choose them as a charity to help with AmazonSmile as well!
