My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

No one should have to spend their golden years in a shelter. Elmer is a small senior, weighing just 12.6 pounds, who is hoping to spend his golden years surrounded by comfort, kindness and a loving place to call his very own.
While he waits for his forever home, Elmer is enjoying time in a foster home where he`s receiving lots of care and attention.
If you`d like to meet this little guy, please contact our team at stiger@bvspca.org to learn more about Elmer and set up a meet-and-greet.

More about this shelter

Founded in 1929, the Brandywine Valley SPCA is the first open admission shelter in Pennsylvania to achieve No Kill status and serves as the only open admission shelter in both Chester and Delaware Counties. In 2015, the BVSPCA opened its first Animal Health Center in Malvern, Pennsylvania, making veterinary care more accessible to local residents. In 2016, the BVSPCA took on a five-year contract with the Delaware Office of Animal Welfare to provide state-wide animal services, and expanded its reach further into the tri-state area by opening both a second shelter and a second Animal Health Center in New Castle County, Delaware. Shortly after, a PetSmart Everyday Adoption Center was opened in Dover, Delaware. Its mission is to put the “human” back in humane animal treatment and to advocate on their behalf. Each year, the BVSPCA cares for more than 10,000 stray, owner-surrendered, wayward owned, and abused and neglected animals.
