🎅🐾 Santa stopped by Chester County Animal Control… and he brought his Naughty & Nice List! 🐶🎄 tell us — what do you think about the last dog… Naughty or Nice? 👇🐾

Watch Hot Coco with Animal Control to see Santa’s official Naughty & Nice K-9 List and learn how our Owner Surrender Program supports our community. When families face the difficult decision of surrendering ownership, we’re here to provide resources, guidance, and compassionate support for pets and their owners.

Christmas came early at the shelter thanks to the incredible DiLorenzo family! 🎄❤️

They showed up with the kind of generosity that makes our animals wiggle, wag, and wonder if Santa accidentally arrived a few weeks ahead of schedule. And the highlight of their visit? Getting showered in fluff and affection by Raven, our big, beautiful, adoptable Alaskan Malamute who is absolutely certain she’s the star of every holiday story.

Thank you, DiLorenzo family, for bringing joy, treats, and warm hearts into our shelter today. You made the season brighter for all of us—two-legged and four-legged alike! 🐾✨

Raven approves this message… and also requests more belly rubs.

📣 FREE STRAW GIVEAWAY TODAY!
Chester County Animal Shelter

A cold front is moving in this week — with temperatures dropping from the mid-50s on Thursday to lows near freezing, and daytime highs only around 60° heading into early next week.

That means outdoor pets will need extra insulation and protection to stay warm and safe.

🐾 We are giving away FREE STRAW today at the shelter!
Please come by and pick up what you need to help prepare your outdoor animals before the cold weather settles in.

✔️ Great for doghouses
✔️ Helps keep animals dry and warm
✔️ Completely free — take what you need

Thank you for helping keep every animal safe and comfortable through the cold snap. ❤️

Stuff the Doghouse with CCAC!

Cold weather is coming, help us keep every outdoor pet warm and cozy!
Stop by Chester County Animal Sheter every Tuesday from 1 PM–3 PM to pick up free straw for your outdoor pets.

Let’s “stuff the doghouse” together and make sure every tail keeps wagging this winter!
