Not sure had to have my dog cremated. Way back in March. In n out.

I was 5 minutes late taking my 15 year old doggie to be put to sleep. The tech, or whatever she's referred to as, wasn't going to do it and almost left the building. Needless to say I was already upset saying goodbye to him and she made it so much worse. But the rest of the staff there comforted me and told me that's how she is. I wondered for weeks after that if she took it out on my poor dog because of course I was not allowed to go in with him. I've been a guardian for 13 years now and that almost made me pull the plug!

The staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. The adoption process was easy and thorough. Everything was explained to us in detail and they were excited that another one of their animals found their new home.

You cannot get a rabies shot at the Luzerne County SPCA, you must sign a document to have that completed after your adoption. Pet Supplies Plus, and Tractor Supply offer reasonable rabies shot clinics

Does anyone know what I can do about nuisance cats that are destroying my property? Any help would be greatly appreciated

briank1933 | May 1, 2022
SPCA of Luzerne County | May 1, 2022

Hello! We actively have a TNR program that might help the situation depending where you're located. Please call 570-825-4111 x110. If you leave a message - Anita would be able to answer questions pertaining if you're in our TNR area. We also have deterrents at the shelter for sale that electronically beep to keep the kitties away as well as suggestions as to what foods you could sprinkle in your landscaping to deter them from your property. Spay/neuter goes a long way however! Not only is it cost effective and keeps the population down but it also helps male cats from spraying to mark territories during mating season which we're well on our way with kitten season!

Do you have to set up an appointment to see the animals?

Azalea Joglar | Nov 2, 2021
Kathleen Rheiner | Nov 2, 2021

Tanasia horn | Sep 28, 2021
Basically Britt | Sep 28, 2021

They used to have one but do to covid they do not. Even during normal visiting hours you need to wait for someone to answer the door and call first for an appt. It's all because of covid and they don't want you to leave things at their door during non business hours because people were doing that even before. Try going during business hours and calling first to make donations. I'm not sure they're accepting right now.

The ASPCA takes in all kinds of pets. But they change, day to day. My best advice, would be to call them and ask what they have. Next week, it could be totally different. They might be able to contact other ASPCA's or have suggestions on other shelters. Good luck. And thank you for looking into adoption!
