Very organized friendly staff that you could automatically tell they care for their animals and the animals are well taken care of

While I almost never write a negative review, it behooves me to do so to caution others who may think about visiting the Lancaster SPCA to help an animal. Unfortunately, the staff failed at communicating unreasonable, arbitrary rules to our family after we invested three hours of our day waiting to meet and potentially adopt a dog. Two members of our family were not able to accompany us, as they had mandatory school activities and work. The staff member flippantly turned us away without any discussion. We attempted speaking to another staff member but were simply told, “Too bad you feel this way.” We attempted to explain that emotions are not a factor, but there was no interest in our efforts and attempts. I do not know what other unreasonable rules are in place, therefore you may want to be flexible in choosing venues in your effort to help an animal.

Mary Smith. I have a chihuahua yorkie mix that has to go. We had gotten him from a friend of my daughters until they moved but they never came back for him. I'm moving and they don't allow pets. I'm looking for a good home for him. My daughter is heartbroken and we would like for him to go to a good home.

How much to have a dog neutered

Karen Culp | Mar 26, 2022
Skeet Smith | Mar 26, 2022

I believe it's somewhere between $50 to $500 depending on insurance coverage.

I reported a dog caged in a corn crib at 156 Metzler Rd. Browns town has that been investigated? I am concerned about the impending frigid weather forecasted for our area

Keith Spering | Nov 26, 2021
Pennsylvania SPCA Lancaster Center | Nov 26, 2021

As we are not a boarding facility, we do not provide boarding services. Your friend should reach out to a boarding kennel such as Gochenauer Kennels Inc.

Can we just go there and look at dogs?

Ani Ruiz | Sep 22, 2021
Pennsylvania SPCA Lancaster Center | Sep 22, 2021

Our shelter is open for meet and greets with dogs every day from 12:00 PM - 4:00 PM. Please feel free to come down to the shelter and we will work to match you with a great new furry family member.

There is a pregnant cat living under my porch so do I bring her to you or can you pick her up?

Neko Crawler | Sep 22, 2021
Pennsylvania SPCA Lancaster Center | Sep 22, 2021

There is no organization that picks up stray/feral cats. Due to the limited kennel space, we are at capacity and not able to accept any cats at this time. We suggest reaching out to other local organizations for assistance.
