The save rate at ACCTPhilly has dropped from roughly 92% in early 2021 to around 85%, writes barbaralaker. This weekend, they are one of five area animal shelters participating in Brandywine Valley SPCA’s Mega Adoption Event.
Sometime before dawn, someone had tossed an emaciated brown pit bull over the chain-link fence at the city’s animal rescue on Hunting Park Avenue in North Philadelphia, and left.
He sat quietly in a crate in the small dog room while a Chihuahua-like dog barked nonstop nearby. Cam’s eyes were blue, almost the exact shade as Autumn’s right eye. Green, Martin, and Autumn returned to rows of kennels, all larger dogs. They stopped at Dee, a 3-year-old brown-and-white pit bull. Her face was kind, they decided. She wasn’t a barker. They returned to the waiting room. The ACCT worker told them Dee needs leash training, house training, and may jump on tables. They decided to spend time with Dee on a patch of grass out front. Dee ran up to them, her tail wagging.
These days she can’t handle large dogs, she said. “I’ve seen bulky men fly like little kites down the street with big dogs,” she said. So she picked a Chihuahua mix with soulful eyes named Eagle. “The eyes. That’s what got me,” she said. “We have dogs that are really nice that two years ago we wouldn’t be able to keep for five days and they’re sitting there,” she said.
