Who We Are
Animal Advocates is an all volunteer Pittsburgh based animal protection and animal rights organization. We are dedicated to ending the suffering, exploitation and abuse of all animals. We are involved in helping the local companion animal population, community outreach on behalf of animals, vegetarian/vegan awareness and educational work concerning animal issues. Animal Advocates is not a shelter. Except for a limited number of cats fostered at our office, our adoptable rescued animals are cared for in loving,volunteer foster homes.
Our office is at 35 Wabash Avenue in the West End of Pittsburgh.
Want to volunteer? Our Animal Rescue Committee provides care for animals that come to us, either in a foster home or at our office. Help is also needed with vet runs, grooming runs, etc. Our Campaigns Committee organizes demonstrations on animal related issues. Our Vegetarian Committee organizes vegetarian taste fests and tabling events. Our Thrift Shoppe needs volunteer staff to sell new and very gently used donated items at our Shoppe – all money goes to the animals! Volunteers and donations are welcomed and appreciated. If you are interested in learning more about us please call (412) 928-9777 or Email muttsrus@hotmail.com
Adopting a friend from Animal Advocates
Our cat or kitten adoption fee is $75.00. This includes spaying or neutering, FELV/FIVtesting, vaccinations, AVID microchip and lifetime AVID registration . Our cat and kitten adoption contract includes a no declawing policy. We do sometimes have cats available for adoption who have been declawed prior to coming to our rescue.
Our dog and puppy adoption fee is $90.00. This includes spaying or neutering, heartworm testing, vaccinations, AVID microchip and lifetime AVID registration.
In addition, rescued animals in our care are vet checked and any existing medical problems are treated. They are routinely treated for internal and external parasites.
Our contract specifies that adopted animals be kept as indoor companions, not in a basement, garage or kennel.
You must be 21 years old or over to adopt and the entire household (other animals included) must be part of the process. Please bring i.d. with proof of your current address. If you rent please bring a copy of your lease, indicating that you are permitted to have companion animals. We reserve the right to do a home visit.
We are not a shelter. Our rescued animals stay in volunteer foster homes until they find forever homes. We get to know them very well and do our best to make the best possible match for both animals and humans.
Our senior discount is 20% off the adoption fee for animals over 10 years and/or people over 60.
Sometimes we have animals who are extremely bonded with each other and truly need to go home together. In these cases the adoption fee will be reduced.
Come Visit Us!
To raise funds for animal care and outreach, we operate a thrift shop located in Pittsburgh's West End at 35 Wabash Street. We accept donations of items for our thrift shop, including gently worn clothing, crafts, jewelry, pet items,collectibles,art, small appliances, kitchenware, linens, etc. Because of limited space we cannot accept large appliances, textbooks, encyclopedias, out of season clothing, bulky sports equipment, large furniture or mattresses. Because of our philosophy we do not accept any fur or leather items. Come visit our shop; you'll find great deals and help animals at the same time. The shop is staffed entirely by volunteers, all monies received from our thrift shop go to help animals. New volunteers are always welcome. We have sidewalk and bake salesseveral times a year, as well as special holiday events and sales.
