We are in immediate need of:
Dog Treats
Fabric Softener Sheets Thank you for your help!!!
Help Un-Chain Pennsylvania Dogs!!! Legislation moving along. If we do not pass this session, then we will not have another chance for at least 2-3 more years.
Seven chained and abandoned Pennsylvania dogs await help in Blair County.
How long, Pennsylvania? How long must chained dogs
wait for a law protecting them from this abuse?
We thank you for your interest in our adoptable pets.
When you adopt a pet from the ACSPCA, you are giving an animal a second
chance at life and we hope you will encourage other people to consider
adopting from their local animal shelter. Please take a look at some
of the wonderful animals we have for adoption. More come in every day,
so please stop by and visit.
Please watch our TV Show
"Pet Talk" to see our adoptable animals on ACTV TV Channel
19 on Tuesdays at 9:00 p.m., Wednesday at 9:00 a.m., Fridays at
6:30 p.m., and Sundays at 4:30 p.m. or you may now watch the "Pet
Talk" show online.
You will need to schedule an appointment to surrender your pet. There
will be an owner surrender fee and you must live in Adams County.
We encourage you to seek a viable alternative on your own. Please
see our Pet Friendly Rentals and the Animal Rescue list below (Rescues
that have been approved by the ACSPCA). Thank you.
If you rent your current
home, a document signed by your landlord giving approval for you to
keep a pet in your home. You may provide either a lease or a signed
letter from your landlord. Please include the landlord's business
address and phone number.
If you are coming from
outside Adams County to adopt one of our pets, please plan to bring
the name and phone number of the humane society that serves the area
where you live.
All animals in your household
must be current on vaccinations and be spayed or neutered. If you
have a copy of your animals shot records please bring them along.
If you already have a dog and are interested in adopting another canine
companion, we require that the two dogs meet at the Animal Shelter,
on neutral territory. If you have any questions or concerns about
making this introduction, please call the Animal Shelter before you
visit: 717-334-8876.
Please note: The Adams County SPCA reserves the right to do
follow-up visits and to pre-adoption and post-adoption home checks
by our Humane Officer. The Adams County SPCA reserves the right to
deny any adoption application.
Your responsibilities as a New Guardian:
You must take your new
pet to a veterinarian for a health check within 15 days of adoption.
You must have an adult animal spayed or neutered within 30 days of
adoption.
We seek PERMANENT, lifetime homes for the animals in our care.
If at any time it becomes impossible for you to keep an animal you
have adopted from our Shelter, you must return the animal to us. Please
note that an appointment must be made in advance to return an adopted
pet or to surrender any other pet to our Shelter.
*If
the animal is intact, the animal must be spayed/neutered
within 30 days, then the Spay/Neuter Deposit will be
refunded to you.
ADOPTION FEE INCLUDES:
Microchipping for dogs
Treatment for Fleas & Ticks
Up-to-date vaccinations and de-worming
Overall wellness check
Heartworm test for dogs and Feline Leukemia test for cats
