Philadelphia No-Kill Coalition
A collective of animal welfare agencies working together to end the killing of savable pets in shelters by helping struggling owners keep their pets and increasing rescue, adoption, and foster placements.
A Shared Mission
Creating a truly humane community in Philadelphia where every savable pet has a safe home.
How it started
A Coalition Born of Collaboration
In late 2017, the city’s three leading animal welfare agencies (ACCT Philly, the Pennsylvania SPCA, and PAWS) came together to form the Philadelphia No-Kill Coalition. They then invited fellow rescues, shelters, and animal service providers to join. Together with Mayor Jim Kenney, the Coalition was publicly announced at a City Hall press conference on January 10, 2018, outlining major goals and initiatives for making Philadelphia a truly humane community. Today, the Coalition consists of 18 member organizations committed to working together toward this shared goal.
