SCRAPPY
Well hi there, good to meet you! I'm Scrappy (A19149841), a young man at just 1 to 2 years old, a big (57 lbs), happy boy who ended up at the shelter through no fault of my own. But hey, I'm making the best of my new digs here at ACCT, and enjoy playing with the other resident dogs here. I LOVE to play, but my human pals tell me I can be a bit pushy in my play style. So I should live with either another playful dog like myself, or a dog that is tolerant of my goofiness! But really, I'm still a bit of a puppy, and just love to have fun! I would do great in a home with an active family who will work with me on training and help me become the best Scrappy I can be. Do I sound like the guy for you? Perfect! Then hop in your car and come on down and adopt me today!

The Animal Care & Control Team of Philadelphia (ACCT Philly) is the region’s largest animal care and control service provider. ACCT Philly is an independent, 501c3 nonprofit organization, contracted by the City of Philadelphia to provide animal control services. Our animal control officers provide service over 142.6 square miles to the city’s more than 1.5 million residents and ACCT Philly’s facility in North Philadelphia handles more than 32,000 of the city’s animals, from dogs and cats, to small animals, reptiles, birds and wildlife, annually.
In addition to animal control and sheltering, ACCT Philly is open 365 days a year for pet adoptions. ACCT Philly also supports a foster care program where community members provide temporary homes for sheltered animals and one of the (if not THE) most extensive rescue partnership program in the country where approved rescue partners accept ACCT Philly animals into their adoption programs. Under contract ACCT Philly’s Animal Control Officers provide animal control services and code enforcement. Other exciting ACCT Philly programs include a food pantry for low-income pet owners, a vibrant volunteer program, trap-neuter-return for community cats, a unique Pen Pal program to assist dogs at risk … and so much more!
