The following are dogs who are Red Alerts on the euthanization list due to shelter overcrowding, but are available for adoption from shelters all across the US. They are all amazing and ready to find their forever homes. Their status can change at any time. Below or above each photo are the notes, along with the ID#, about each dog from various shelter workers and rescuers. Some animals may be available for transport to other cities/states, just ask. 5,000,000 animals are put to death every year in American shelters. Let’s stop the cycle:
***EXTREMELY URGENT*** DUNSTON - ID#A1120711 My name is Dunston and I am an unaltered male, brown brindle and white Border Collie and Staffordshire Bull Terrier. My age is unknown. I weigh approximately 74 pounds. I have been at the shelter since Jun 3, 2010, and on New Hope Alert list since July 18, 2010. *Please note that LA Animal Services DO NOT provide euth dates for the animals. Once an animal is placed on New Hope Alert, the animal can be euthanized anytime without further notice. Dunston is cute beyond words, isn't he?! He is very shy and he doesn't do a whole lot when you first meet him; he wouldn't walk on the leash nor would he respond to you in any way. But no worries, he's just trying to figure stuff out 😉 It'd only take him a few minutes to warm up. And next thing you know, he's your best friend and he would not leave your side! He is friendly toward people and he's done well walking alongside other dogs too! He's looking for a wonderful home to call his own.

ACCT says meet RICHIE. Richie is handsome 1-2 year old Terrier mix. He was brought to ACCT as a stray and is looking for some stability in his life. He has a beautiful coat/ almost greyish-chocolate brown in color with splashes of white on his chest and face. Being a stray, Richie probably has never had the opportunity to be taught how to walk mannerly on the leash and he would flourish with an owner who can give him some basic training. Richie loves to play with toys and would be just as happy to sit or stand by your side. He is eager for affection and the touch of a human hand. He is very friendly with other dogs, and in the shelter, Richie has shown to be fine with cats. If you'd like to be the proud owner of this very distinguished looking young fella, come down to ACCT to meet Richie today!!! ACCT is located at: 111 W. Hunting Park Ave, Phila., PA 19140 Phone: 267-385-3800 Email: [email protected] or [email protected]
Hi, my name is EMILY. I am a female English Setter mix and my owner just passed away. I was brought to ACCT because no one else could take care of me. I've been told the nice people at the shelter that I'm about 5-10 years old. Since my owner wasn't well, no one really had the time to take care of me, so I've gained some weight. I would love to find a new owner who can help me lose some weight and take me outside for some exercise. I'm a really calm dog, and don't get too upset when I see other dogs playing. I pretty much keep to myself and would love to just be someone's companion. The nice people at the shelter say I'm even house trained. I'm very relaxed around cats too!!! Please help me get out of the shelter; it's noisey and kind of scary for me and I'd much rather be sleeping on a soft bed or blanket. ACCT is located at: 111 W. Hunting Park Ave, Phila., PA 19140 Phone: 267-385-3800 Email: [email protected] or [email protected]
Jazz is a 6 year old owner surrender Rottweiler. She was brought to the shelter because her owners no longer have time to care for her. Jazz is a big strong girl, but she walks well on a leash. She's friendly and loves to get scratchies, she will lean on you for more attention and will sometimes request belly rubs. She listens to commands such as 'sit, down and stay'. She's not very well socialized with other dogs and become fearful and uncomfortable with them around. A experienced home is a must for this sweetie. ACCT is located at: 111 W.

Harvy is very friendly and laid back. He was tested with a calm friendly dog and they got along well together. Harvy has a friendly interest in cats so he could live in a home with cats.

Hey! My name is Bella! I am a gorgeous 1-2 year old Pit mix. I was found as a stray and brought into ACCT. I am so sad and depressed here in the kennels, but once I get outside into the play area I am a totally different dog! I am active and love to play! I will settle for body handling and I have no issues with food. ACCT is located at: 111 W. Hunting Park Ave, Phila., PA 19140 Phone: 267-385-3800 Email: [email protected] or [email protected]
