About this shelter

Pennsylvania SPCA Adoptions in Philadelphia, PA

Pennsylvania SPCA Adoptions is a humane society located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, roughly 4 miles southwest of the city, and it is open daily from 12:00 to 6:00 PM. The organization operates as a 501(c)(3) nonprofit and works to match cats, dogs, and other animals with adopting families through its network of adoption centers, including its Philadelphia headquarters. When visiting an adoption center, staff and volunteers help match pets to a family's interests and needs, and every adoption includes spay/neuter surgery, a microchip, an ID tag, and initial vaccines. Beyond adoptions, the PSPCA is also involved in fighting animal cruelty and providing veterinary care services such as vaccine clinics and trap-neuter-return programs.
