Adoption Tails
DIVA
Diva was abandoned in a carrier with all of her possessions on the steps of a church just before the annual Blessing of the Animals. We were contacted by a couple of our friends in the community and took her in. She had a note taped to her carrier explaining that her owner was homeless and could no longer take care of her and to “please find her a good home” 
We promised.
We did.
ADOPTED

EMBER & BABY DRIVER
Ember and Baby Driver were found in different sections of Philadelphia in July, 2022. Ember had an upper respiratory infection. Baby Driver was suffering from a serious pneumonia. Once they were healthy, we introduced them to each other and they immediately became friends. On October 9, they were adopted by a young professional who had just moved to Philly and wanted her new house to feel like a home. We are so grateful she choose to adopt and love these two little rescues so they can live happily ever after!
CANDY
Candy was rescued by a kind-hearted human after she was seen being violently tossed from her home and chased down the street! Her rescuer couldn’t take on another cat and reached out to us. On November 18, 2022, Candy was adopted and thrilled to discover her new furever home already loaded with toys! Her new Mom sent us these pics of her proudly parading around with her new favorite, a little spring that she needed to put somewhere safe before diving in to her first meal of many to come! Happy Life Candy!!
HONEY
Newly rescued, Honey wasn’t so sure if she could trust these new people.

PEANUT
Peanut was found as a stray. Thank you so much, Jibri Olugbala Douglas, for rescuing this little nugget of love and for sharing the burden of fostering her with Elisabeth Nickles . You two were such a dynamic team! Thanks for nurturing her and cleaning up so much puppy car puke, too.
Peanut got adopted December 27, 2022. Her new family had been discussing adopting a dog or a puppy for over a year and started carefully planning to bring this moment to life. They researched trainers, talked to other dog-owning friends and fenced in their yard. They did a consult with their trainer a week before Peanut’s arrival and set up their home to welcome her. Her foster parents were super sad to part with her but were also very happy to send her to a home with kids as Peanut would always gravitate towards kids in the park. You could say they are the jelly to her little peanut butter heart! Peanut gets to have a ton of older dogs around her as the direct neighbors and many friends have dogs. She even has a cat friend named Cali!
We are so excited to see her so excited and to know she is set up for success! Happy New Life Peanut! And special thanks to her foster family who worked hard to make this moment happen!
VELVET
Velvet saved her own life when she walked up to her rescuer who was walking her own newly adopted dog and asked for help. Hours later we had her at Harleysville Vet and her new life had begun. Velvet is an incredibley sweet girl. . She loves to kiss and cuddle and was grateful for every moment . It wasn’t easy to let her go but her new mom takes her to work where she has a mission helping people with neurological issues. Plus she has a dog brother and human brothers. Her life is really great!
These are both Velvet! The first is the day she was found and the second is two months later.
SLY
Sly was found by a hero named Billy who spent two days luring him out of his hiding spot in a city park. In the end, Billy used his remote control car to capture the puppy’s curiosity. We suspect her may be Peanut’s brother. Sly was with us only long enough to be fully vetted and neutered. A family of a mom and three human puppies fell in love with him and couldn’t wait to take him home to romp and cuddle. . Last we heard, those three kids were taking turns sleeping with him,
BLUEBERRY! Now named ASH
Blueberry(ASH) is one special dog!
He was seen by several neighbors wandering around in traffic on Lincoln Drive! Can you imagine? They worked together and caught him! One family took him home to keep him safe. He had no collar, identification or microchip. A Found Pet Report was filed with ACCT Philly. No owner came forward.
Once we got him in our care, we found out he’s a lot of dog His energy level was over the top and he overwhelmed other dogs. Fortunately, our friends at ASH – Archie’s School House, LLC agreed to board and train him.
His trainers taught Blueberry all the things he needed to know but he still wasn’t the kind of dog who could go to just any home. We worried about his future as the date he needed to leave came and went. How long could this last? Could we find him a home? Then Bianca and Anthony they gave us the news… They had decided Blueberry would be Archie’s successor and be given the name they had saved for just the right dog, ASH! So, Blueberry became Ash and he was officially adopted! We’re so grateful to Bianca and Anthony for traing this boy, loving this boy and forgiving him a home and a mission.
