Shelter FAQs

We are a non-profit, no kill spca. We will adopt out as many animals as we can, but if they never get homes, that's fine, either us workers will take them home, or they will be life time residents. They love it at the shelter. We do not house our dogs in kennels, they have big yards to run in all day, and only sleep in kennels at night. We are one unique shelter.
Mainly Schuylkill County, but we will adopt to any one who we find to be wonderful pet owners, who can get themselves to the shelter.
