What do I do with this animal I found?

Posted on 20 February 2018 by Mike VanHelder

One of the most common kind of questions on West Philadelphia-local mailing lists, forums and Facebook communities has to do with what to do about lost, stray or injured animals. Here are some official resources that can help if you find one of those animals and want to help:

If you find a lost or stray dog, cat, or other household pet, ACCT (Animal Care and Control Team) Philadelphia are the most likely to be able to take a found animal. You can visit http://www.acctphilly.org/foundpet/ for more information. Make sure to fill out the ACCT Found Pet Report: http://www.acctphilly.org/foundpet/foundreport/. If you can’t keep the animal until its family can be located, ACCT will accept it at their central location. They are not a no-kill shelter.  Continue Reading

Andy spends a week on the town, but now he’s back home

Posted on 25 February 2011 by Mike Lyons

dogSo it seems that Andy, a young pit bull, went on a bit of neighborhood walkabout. His person, Maddy, wrote back on Feb. 18 that Andy slipped out and was last seen around 50th and Hazel. Maddy sent out the word to keep a look out. Well, last night Maddy was awoken at about 3 a.m. to Andy at the door – a little shaken, but OK.
Maddy wrote today:

Hi all you wonderful concerned people, Just wanted to let everyone know that I found a very wet, very hungry, and very dirty Andy at my backdoor at 3 am this morning. He’s got some cuts, but he looks like he’s in pretty good shape.
Thanks for all your help and good vibes!

Maddy
