About this shelter

Pennsylvania SPCA Lancaster Center in Lancaster, PA

The Pennsylvania SPCA Lancaster Center is a humane society located in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, operating out of the Mary K. Dano Animal Shelter in the heart of the city. As a community hub, it is dedicated to reuniting lost animals with their pet parents, finding new homes for adoptable animals, and providing low-cost services to the community. The center is committed to helping Lancaster's homeless animals and supports this mission in part through the Riley Mathias Fund for Lancaster Adoptions. It is open Tuesday through Sunday from 12:00 to 6:00 PM and sits about 30 miles northeast of Reading, PA.
