This is Philly's contracted animal control shelter, and has been struggling to reduce their euthanasia rate.
www.phillypaws.org/adoption.cfm
Dogs:
Adoption Fee = $30
All dogs and puppies are spayed or neutered prior to going home, vaccinated for: distemper, hepatitis, leptospirosis, parainfluenza, parvovirus (DHLPP - for puppies, the first in a series of three vaccinations that should be completed by the adoptive family either at the family veterinarian's office or by returning to PAWS for a $15 fee), bordetella and rabies (for dogs three months and older), dewormed (often the first in a series of treatments that should be completed by the adoptive family) and treated for fleas (treatment must continue after adoption to keep your pet flea free). An additional purchase of a dog license is required for Philadelphia residents. Never lose your best friend! Your new best friend can be implanted with a 24 Petwatch microchip that should be registered in your name after adoption.
The shelter is also rescue-friendly!

PAWS and PACCA are privileged to work with many of the finest animal welfare organizations in the region. PAWS Partners support lifesaving activities by funding programs that directly impact our ability to save lives, promoting pets for adoption or by transferring animals from our crowded animal control facility into their own adoption programs.
If your 501(c)3 organization would like to become a PAWS Adoption Partner, send an email to rescuehotline@phillypaws.org. Consider joining our RESCUE ALERT group highlighting animals in critical need of rescue at the shelter. Be one of the first to get alerts about animals who need urgent assistance. Simply enter your email address in the newsletter sign up box in the upper left-hand corner of this page and select RESCUE ALERTS.
