@XfinitySupport We don’t have hotspots as we were not warned about this ahead of time

[ACCT Philly @ACCTPhilly]

@XfinitySupport our internet is down until at the earliest 1pm, anyway you can help so that we can operate? We have people wanting to surrender and adopt animals but can’t because of outage

Gun violence affects the animals of #Philly too. Phoenix was found with wounds, maggots and bullet holes that fractured her cervical vertebrae. She’s at @ACCTPhilly looking for rescue. #dobetterphilly

When a line formed recently outside @ACCTPhilly, its executive director recalled someone joked, “Do you have Taylor Swift tickets?"

“We’re like, ‘No, we’re just taking in dogs that people can’t care for anymore.’”

@Rev_philly He is doing well, we are working on placement as he is too big for the plane and container we had been planning on using when we thought he was five feet. Here he is today

CRIKEY! 3 foot caiman found at FDR Park in South Philly yesterday morning cared for by @ACCTPhilly has been relocated by State Game Wardens. It's believed the alligator like reptile native to Mexico and Central America was released illegally. @FOX29philly 📷@AcctPhilly

[ACCT Philly @ACCTPhilly]

Thank you for telling our temporary guest’s story 🐊

[Nikki DeMentri @nikkidementri]

TONIGHT | @ACCTPhilly cared for a caiman after it was found Sunday morning in a FDR Park.

The alligator-related species is native to Central and South America...not South Philly.

We're sharing what's next for the reptile tonight on @CBSPhiladelphia.
