Acct Philly hopes to have 75 pets placed in foster homes by July 22 as part of its program, which pays people to foster animals for a month.
"Last year in May and June we took in 60 dogs under seven months old. This year we took in 125," said Sarah Barnett, the executive director of ACCT Philly.
As part of the "Foster Frenzy" program, foster families will also receive a kit to help care for the animal. The incentive was made possible by funds from dog foot company Little Hunter. It's in addition to a program already funded by Bissell that cuts cat adoptions down to $10. "We are taking care of about 200 dogs," he said. "That number, to be more manageable for us, should be about 150."
