The Center for Animal Health and Welfare

Animal shelter in Easton, PA

Formed in 1913, The Center for Animal Health and Welfare (formerly the Northampton County SPCA) is a private organization. We are not affiliated with any other SPCA or ASPCA. We are not a government agency, but are a non-profit organization with a 501c3 status.

In 2003 we committed ourselves to saving lives and became a no-kill shelter. We are dedicated to providing a safe and healthy environment for animals. We have improved our foster program, increased adoptions and offer a low-cost spay/neuter program.

Fund raising, donations and bequests make up 90% of our income and we apply for many grants. Adoption fees, relinquishment fees, memberships and agreements with some of the local municipalities, to take in their strays, generate the rest of our revenue. Although we greatly appreciate the help from the municipalities that do support us, not all do. Northampton County contributes about $5,000.

Financials
We are responsible for a $900,000 operating budget annually.
Our major costs are:
Veterinary care
Medical supplies
Kennel supplies
Spay/Neuter expenses
Insurance
Utilities
Payroll.
Adoption

We make every effort to find loving homes for these scared and lonely pets. We do not set a fixed time limit on animals, but keep them for as long as they remain adoptable.

Additional adoption info

We ask that potential adopters inform their references, veterinarian office, and landlord (if applicable) that we will be calling in order to minimize the wait-time for callbacks and allow applications to be completed within the 72 hour time frame. Families are encouraged to meet with the animals several times to build a bond before adopting and while the application is being processed- this is not optional for a few of the dogs currently being housed at CAHW due to nervous energy.
