Care and Control Association (PACCA) is the City of Philadelphia's contracted
animal control shelter. Taking in almost 30,000 animals each year, PACCA
sees the greatest number of homeless, abandoned and orphaned animals in
our area. When you adopt your new best friend from PACCA, you are truly
saving a life that may not have had a chance without your kindness.
Because of our high volume, each day there are new animals who are looking for loving homes. If you don't make a match on Petfinder today, stop by the shelter to meet the more than 100 animals who are available for adoption every day. |

| FOSTER PARENTING
At PACCA there is a tremendous need for foster parents particularly for litters of kittens who are too young to be adopted, nursing mothers and kittens and cats who are recovering from Upper Respiratory Infections. PACCA is also seeking foster parents who are willing to temporarily house adult dogs (these dogs are usually medium to larger sized, not small) who have been at the shelter for a long period of time or who are recovering from Kennel Cough or injury. If you are interested in learning more about becoming a foster parent for orphaned or homeless animals, contact us at fosterhotline@phillypaws.org. |
