First of all, they are NOT a no kill. They are going to be transitioning to a no kill, but this will take time. Second of all they WILL NOT adopt out a dangerous dog regardless of no kill status. No kill does not mean that they will not euthanize dangerous or suffering animals. It simply means that they will not euthanize for lack of space or lack of funding to treat treatable conditions. Third of all, saying all pit bulls are dangerous is like saying all black people are criminals. You simply cannot classify one race or one breed as being the same. Pit bulls get a bad rap, but there are many, many breeds of dogs that are mis-identified as being pit bulls or Pit Bull mixes. I have a pit bull mix that I adopted from ACCT Philly and I trust her with all of my children, even my 6 month old baby. Now back to the original question, no you do not have to live in Philadelphia. You do need to bring any resident dogs and any children with you, ID, proof of address, and lease.

Sometimes it's just better to go to yourself and then talk to them if you have any issues you just go to Walmart in Philadelphia Huntington Park Station I have to edit the answer okay it's not Walmart is Huntington Park it's called acting Philadelphia go over there that can serve you better one on one

No. You do not. I'm a registered foster for ACCT Philly. If u want to adopt a dog u will need to bring all children you have that are under the age of 18. If u currently have a dog you will have to bring your dog so the dogs can have a meet & greet to see how your dog and the potential dog u want to adopt get along.

As you were already answered The good thing about ACCT is that they will make sure you'll find the right fit for you. And not just try to free up space

No

They mostly only have pitbulls, and I wouldn't trust their temperament evaluations. That is the problem with going no kill. They send out dogs that are dangerous.
