Waiting on a Friend Animal Rescue

Animal rescue in Ottsville, PA

At Waiting On A Friend Rescue, our mission is to rescue and rehabilitate animals, and ultimately find them forever homes. We believe that every animal deserves a chance at a happy life. We pull almost all of our animals from the ACCT in Philadelphia. They are one of the few open intake 24/7 shelter in the greater Philadelphia area. We work as a small organization with less than 5 employees. In our first year as a rescue we adopted out more animals than the Philadelphia SPCA and had over 100+ total adoptions. We strive to not only give these animals a excellent forever home but we strive to encourage to community to adopt and educate them on Breeding and the homeless animal crisis.
