History
The Delaware County Society for the
Prevention of Cruelty to Animals
(SPCA) was established in 1911 originally for the purpose of providing
watering troughs for work horses throughout the county. As the
county expanded to close to 560,000 people, many of them pet owners,
the Delaware County SPCA evolved to serve the ever-changing needs
of the growing
community. Until the end of 2011, the Delco SPCA served as an
“open-admission”
facility, receiving stray animals from the municipalities
in Delaware County that had animal control contracts. In 2012, the
Delaware County municipalities took back their responsibility of
picking up and finding boarding for stray animals, which allows the
Delco SPCA to focus on adoptions and programs that prevent the vast
numbers of stray and neglected animals in Delaware County.
In July 2012, the Delaware County SPCA will be a lifesaving
organization, striving to save every adoptable animal that enters our
Adoption Center, reserving euthanasia only for animals that are
incurably sick or too behaviorally aggressive to be adopted out in to
the community.
Placing deserving animals in loving homes is a continuous focus. In 2011, we adopted 2,808 animals in to forever homes. Our goal for 2012 is to place 3,100 animals in to forever homes. Today, we acquire animals when owners can no longer care for their pets and need to turn ownership over to us for adoption; additionally, we care for animals from cruelty investigations. Finally, we rescue adoptable animals from high-risk shelters and transfer them to our Adoption Center to place up for adoption as our space and resources persist. We are not breed-specific and have a loyalty to "bully" breeds like Pit Bulls and other misjudged breeds. We promote responsible ownership by behaviorally evaluating our animals prior to adoption, and, in some cases, including training with the adoption. The dedicated staff, volunteers, and volunteer Board members work constantly to promote responsible pet ownership and combat animal overpopulation through prevention programs such as low-cost public spay/neuter, community programs like a pet food bank, low-cost vet care, both onsite and offsite, humane education and humane investigations.
The Delaware County SPCA is a 501c3 non-profit, charitable organization registered with the Pennsylvania Department of State. We are not affiliated with any local, state or federal agency or any other SPCA or humane group. Our work is supported almost entirely by private donations.
