My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

This girl right here is why we exist. This girl who exemplifies all the delightful things of Dogs and who has yet to land in a spot perfect for her.

Lulu was most likely used for breeding and then discarded like so many other Good Dogs are here in Philly. Left to fend for herself in a park during the coldest week of winter, she somehow survived by scrounging for food scraps and possibly sleeping in an abandoned house.

We are still in awe that she survived it all and finally was trapped by our volunteers. One of our friends made space in her basement and we fortunately found a foster the day the basement began to flood from a rainstorm the night before.

She was so tired it was difficult to get a good understanding of who she really was at first. Now that some time has gone by and she has received full medical care and found safety with our friends we feel we understand her a bit more.

She is a dream cuddler! She has had great dog meets, though we would definitely take things slow. She hasn't met smaller kids but has met an older kid, we think kids over 12 yrs old would be great while we are getting to know her.

We definitely need a cat free home for her, she is residing with one now who she isn't doing well with. She loves to hike and has a lot of fun energy. She loves toys and can solve puzzles faster than a toddler. She snores adorably when she sleeps. She is petite and as pretty as they come! She just needs a little finesse, she just needs stability!

Lulu urgently needs a committed foster with no cats now!
Her current foster says she is a perfect little dog and just needs a cat free home. Fosters get first dibs at adopting!
Please, if you have room in your heart and your home, Lulu needs a space to stay a while. Or forever.

Go meet their pets

At this time, Familiar Hearts Animal Society meetings are by appointment only.

We currently rely on our amazing web of generous fosters throughout the Philadelphia area and will do our best to make a meeting as convenient as possible for both human + animal.

Meetings will need to be coordinated through the foster of the animal you are interested in meeting.

More about this rescue

Mission Statement: To end the unnecessary suffering of homeless companion animals by serving as a refuge and enabling humans to provide them quality and compassionate homes.

Our Vision: Our mission is two-fold; we want to help abandoned pets and we want to help stop pet abandonment.

We operate using a network of kind hearted hands to help find homeless animals veterinary and behavior care and then match them with appropriate forever homes. We also strive to educate pet owners about resources they might utilize in order to best understand how to provide for their friends with furry paws, feathers or claws. We always do our best to help.
