About 4-PAWS South Philadelphia Animal Rescue

4-PAWS is a rescue founded by citizens of a South Philadelphia neighborhood. It has been privately funded since 2008. Philadelphia has such an epidemic of strays and feral cat populations that the BIGGEST shelters and other animal rescues in the area, euthanized (killed) over 12,000 animals in 2009. There is simply not enough room to house and care for all of the homeless animals. 4-PAWS is against having to kill or euthanize animals that have a chance at a long, healthy life.

Support adoption and rescue. Why go to a dog breeder, cat breeder or pet store to buy a dog or buy a cat when you can adopt?

Why should you adopt?

Dog adoption and cat adoption saves lives. Adopt a dog or adopt a cat and you'll have a friend for life.

What is the difference between adopting a dog, adopting a cat, adopting a kitten or adopting a puppy versus getting dogs for sale, cats for sale, puppies for sale or kittens for sale from a dog breeder or a cat breeder?

When someone is breeding puppies or breeding kittens, they are creating new dogs and cats who need homes. Some people are interested in a very specific breed of dog, cat, puppy or kitten and they think the only way to find that specific breed is to buy a dog for sale or buy a cat for sale from a puppy breeder or a kitten breeder. Yet animal shelters are filled with dogs and cats who must find homes.

So rather than buying a dog or puppy for sale from a dog breeder or buying a cat or kitten for sale from a cat breeder, we encourage people to adopt a dog, adopt a cat, adopt a puppy or adopt a kitten at their local animal shelter, SPCA, humane society or pet rescue group.
