Women's Animal Center
Our Mission
Women's Animal Center is dedicated to uniting pets and people through compassionate care, providing a lifetime of support for our furry companions and the families who love them.
A Legacy of Compassion
Founded in 1869, we are honored to be America's First Animal Shelter™. For over 155 years, we have advocated for the welfare of animals throughout the Greater Philadelphia region and beyond, building a future defined by kindness.
Our Care Model
As a managed admissions shelter, we are committed to placing healthy and treatable animals into loving homes through evidence-based rehabilitation and care. Our nonprofit organization provides a high-quality, accredited veterinary hospital, behavior training, and community education to ensure that every pet we serve receives the best possible start to their new life.
Your Adoption Journey
We believe that adopting a pet is the beginning of a beautiful, lifelong partnership. Our dedicated team works closely with you to ensure a thoughtful match, providing counseling and resources to help your new family member transition smoothly and confidently into your home.
