If you are interested in adopting Sooki, please email adoptions@phillypaws.org for an application.

*Sooki is urgent because she has been looking for a home for over a year and a half.*

Sooki is a 2-3 year old female American Pit Bull Terrier mix found as a stray. It would be ideal for her to go to someone who is willing to help build her confidence with an active lifestyle. Sooki would make a great jogging partner, after some training and trust building. She is anxious in new situations and is in need of someone who would like to help her deal with that. Sooki is tolerant of other dogs, but not of cats. Sooki loves the attention that she gets from everyone. She knows how to “sit,” is crate trained, and probably would be best as an only pet. Animal ID#A10707263

Sooki has shown the potential to be a good sporting dog, particularly in flyball. She loves tug of war and will dead ball retrieve for a game of tug. If you do not know what flyball is, you can learn more at http://www.revolutionflyballpa.com/

PAWS, the Philadelphia Animal Welfare Society, is a 501(c)3 non-profit animal rescue organization. PAWS pulls at-risk animals from the City of Philadelphias animal control shelter and adopts them out, either from our adoption center (located at 2nd and Arch Streets), from one of our adoption locations at area PETCO and PetSmart stores, or from our network of foster homes.


PAWS is dedicated to saving the lives of Philadelphias homeless, abandoned and unwanted animals and is working to make Philadelphia a city in which every healthy and treatable pet is guaranteed a home.


When you adopt a pet from PAWS you truly save a life!
