Guinea piggy galore! Check out our four guinea pigs available for adoption; two at each shelter.

Rolo’s favorite time of the day is when she gets her pellets and veggies in the morning. She also eats timothy hay and mixed greens. She can be a bit shy but has learned to enjoy little head pets. Rolo should have a large enough cage or a pen for her to exercise in since she LOVES her zoomies.

Ginger’s squeaks can be heard from outside of the room! He has previously lived with another Guinea pig but if you have any other pigs in the home, we recommend doing slow and supervised introductions.

Mr. Spunky is a cool dude looking to hang out with some new friends. Chilling in his hut and eating snacks are some of his favorite ways to spend his days.

Marbles is a handsome fellow who will steal your heart with his stylish middle-part hairstyle and his cute chubby cheeks. He gets excited hearing the bag of fresh greens being opened. Marbles enjoys his snacks and then retires to his private hut for some well-deserved R&R time.

Our piggies are shy when meeting new people, so we recommend going slowly when introducing yourself. With some encouragement and patience, they will come out of their shells and become your new best friend.

Each guinea pig can be adopted for $15. Adopting from a shelter frees up space so we can help the next animal who needs our help.

Visit Rolo (Quakertown Shelter), Ginger (Quakertown Shelter), Mr. Spunky (Lahaska Shelter), or Marbles (Lahaska Shelter) today!

We have received questions from community members about the recent Narrow Way Farm investigation. We appreciate peoples’ concern for the animals and want to provide some details about this complex case.

On Sunday night, August 4, we received a complaint about the condition of animals at Narrow Way Farm in Newtown. Our officer arrived at the farm at 8:00a.m. on Monday. A farm volunteer showed our officer some of the animals who appeared to be in good condition. The volunteer did not allow access to the rest of the property but said the person in charge of the farm was due back the next day.

On Tuesday morning, we spoke with the person in charge who shared very concerning information about the condition of animals we had not been allowed to view. Based on that information we quickly secured a search warrant which was served that afternoon. Our team removed the sickest animals and transported them to our Quakertown Shelter where they were provided with veterinary and supportive care.

Sadly, on Wednesday morning a goat at the farm died. We sent the goat’s body to a state diagnostic lab to determine the cause of death. Concerned about the possibility of infectious disease, we called in a state veterinarian who arrived that afternoon. Their opinion was that heavy parasite load combined with poor general health was the probable cause of death, therefore the farm did not have to be quarantined. Wednesday afternoon we transported more at-risk animals to the Quakertown Shelter. Communication with the farm owner was difficult but finally resulted in the surrender of the animals to our care.

Early on Thursday, a team of Animal Control Officers, volunteers from nearby farms, and BCSPCA staff worked together to transport the final 88 animals to the Quakertown Shelter. Two dogs and several cats were rehomed through the owner’s family members. All that remained on the property were a small number of barn cats who are being brought to our shelter for rehoming.

Our investigation is ongoing, and charges will be filed against the owner. We welcome anyone who has questions about this investigation to call us at 215-794-7425.

As of today, nearly all the chickens from this case have been rehomed. We are encouraged by the improvement we’ve seen in the goats, sheep, pigs, and steer, and we are eager to find new homes for them all. Thank you to the more than 200 applicants who are interested in adopting. Our team will follow up as the animals are cleared for adoption.

Happy ! We recently received a wonderful update on Pepper, a working cat adopted from our Lahaska Shelter last year. She just had her one-year adopt-aversary! Here are some celebratory words from her adopter:

“ We have had this little gremlin for a year.
Formally named Lydia by
This working cat was the best $10 I've ever spent. She loves to talk about nothing, stare at us while we sleep, lay in the middle of the kitchen, and barge into the bathrooms. She's one of a kind 💛

”

Our shelter staff find great joy in being able to place our working cats. Our currently available male working cats are Merrick (Photo 9 - 2-year-old, Quakertown Shelter), and Phoenix (Photo 10 - 1-year-old, Lahaska Shelter): https://buckscountyspca.org/working-cats/

Working cats, or barn cats, are independent cats who thrive when they have the freedom to roam in a safe environment. These cats are too feisty or fearful of people to enjoy life as companion housecats. Your barn, greenhouse, workshop, or other outbuilding can be a great place to employ one or more working cats. Our barn cats are neutered/spayed, microchipped, FELV and FIV tested negative, and started on vaccinations and preventatives. Their adoption fee is only $10.

Come visit our working cats today! 😻

Sharing a fresh dose of farm faces for your enjoyment today. We love watching their quirky and fun personalities emerge as they continue to settle in and relax in the safety and comfort of their temporary home here at our Quakertown Shelter. Peace and joy have replaced fear and distress! Thank you to everyone who has contributed to give them a brighter future.

Narrow Way Farm update: As of today, we have only a few chickens left to rehome. A reminder that the other animals will not be up for adoption immediately. We are working on USDA tags, vaccinations, and getting these animals healthy. As animals are cleared by our medical team, we will contact those who have submitted interest forms in the order received. Many of you have asked if the owner will be charged – yes, charges will be filed for animal cruelty and neglect. Thanks for your interest, support, and patience.

Time for a ! As the 124 farm animals settle into our Quakertown Shelter, we’d like to send you off into your weekend with more positivity.

Check out adoption update photos, and kind words from an adopter with an update on a charming orange tabby, Oliver (Photo 1) adopted from the Quakertown Shelter last month:

"Orange tabbies are so wonderful. I got my first- a one-year-old- from Lahaska many years ago. He lived to 19. Last week we adopted Oliver from Upper Bucks. What a love he is!

I’d like to thank Amanda for helping us when we visited Lahaska. We didn’t find a match that day, but appreciated her attention and assistance.

We went to Upper Bucks to meet Oliver who was in his own room due to shyness. He got into my lap, made eye contact, and kissed me, and he’s been a love since coming home. Oliver is so happy and so are we! Julia and the entire staff were warm, welcoming, and very helpful."

Safe! All 124 animals from Narrow Way Farm are now safe in our care.

Today, Bucks County SPCA removed the remaining 88 farm animals with the help of volunteers from several local farms and Animal Control Officers Cheyenne Keen (Middletown Township Police Department), Sarah Barrett (Bensalem Township Police), and Jamie Truelove (Lower Makefield Township Police). We are deeply grateful for the collaborative effort that came together quickly on behalf of these animals.

This is the largest case of farm animal cruelty and neglect in collective memory of the Bucks County SPCA with 58 goats, 49 chickens, 10 pigs, 5 sheep, and 2 steers rescued, and an additional two animals found dead at the property.

Our team has been fast at work buying food and supplies while our veterinary team, with assistance from consulting large animal veterinarians, has evaluated nearly all the animals and begun treatment plans for those that are sick or injured.

We have already received more than 80 responses through our webform for potential adopters of these animals. We ask for your patience as our team continues to prioritize animal care and begins to review and contact potential adopters. It will be at least two weeks until the goats, sheep, and steers are ready for placement – with USDA tags and necessary vaccinations. We encourage anyone interested in adopting to submit your information at: www.buckscountyspca.org/rescue-assistance.

Caring for 124 animals in distress is costly. We are asking for our community to come to the animals’ aid by donating to our Animal Relief Fund at: www.buckscountyspca.org/donate.

These funds will help provide for medical treatment, food, shelter, and other essential supplies to support the recovery of these animals. Thank you.

NEWS RELEASE: Bucks County SPCA has taken custody of 100+ farm animals from Narrow Way Farm at 887 Worthington Mill Road in Newtown, PA. The sickest animals have been removed from the farm. BCSPCA conducted an animal cruelty investigation after receiving complaints including photos and videos of sick animals and reports of animals dying. On Tuesday, August 6, 2024, the agency’s Humane Law Enforcement team, with assistance from Newtown Township Police, served a warrant for removal of the animals. Owner Abigail O’Keeffe was found to have left the country with no confirmation of when or if she plans to return. BCSPCA was able to negotiate with O’Keefe to surrender the farm animals and therefore allow BCSPCA to proceed with the treatment, care, and rehoming of the animals.

At the farm, which advertises “sip and snuggle” afternoons cuddling with baby goats, BCSPCA staff found animals living in filthy conditions, dead animals, and reports from caretakers of young animals suddenly dying. On Tuesday afternoon, 25 of the sickest animals were transported to BCSPCA’s Quakertown Shelter and barn to begin receiving care under the direction of the agency’s Director of Shelter Medicine and in consultation with large animal veterinarians.

Early on Wednesday morning, BCSPCA was notified by farm staff that another goat had died overnight. BCSPCA secured the property with assistance from police until a veterinarian from the state could arrive to investigate for any potential contagious diseases. The veterinarian determined that the suspected cause of death for multiple sheep and goats was heavy parasite load, which is largely a problem of the environment. The thin animals had been fed a poor diet.

By Wednesday morning, animals in the care of BCSPCA had already been examined and began receiving medical treatment. Several who were seen to be raising their feet as if lame have been found to have a contagious but treatable condition known commonly as foot scald. Some of the goats appear to have respiratory symptoms.

Due to the large number of animals, BCSPCA is asking individuals and groups who are able and willing to adopt some of these animals to contact the organization through their website. Adopters must be located within Pennsylvania and experienced in providing care for farm animals. Interested parties can use the BCSPCA’s webform https://buckscountyspca.org/rescue-assistance/.

The community can donate to BCSPCA’s Animal Relief Fund to help provide for these animals: buckscountyspca.org/donate

Anyone with information about this case, or any other case of cruelty and neglect in Bucks County, should report what they know at 844-SPCA-Tip (844-772-2847) or [email protected].

A news story about a Bucks County SPCA animal cruelty investigation from last summer has been recirculating online this week. In that case, 33 cats and 3 dogs were abandoned in a hotel room. Many were sick and suffering. Thankfully, most of these animals were restored to good health and adopted to new homes. (Pictured are Luke and Quark, adopted a week after being rescued!)

The case highlights a persistent problem of animal abandonment in Bucks County (and across the country). Just last week our Humane Law Enforcement Officers were called to rescue two dogs abandoned in a hotel. Only yesterday two cats were brought to our shelter after being found abandoned in a motel. Dogs are sometimes abandoned in local parks. Small animals have been left in cages next to apartment dumpsters. Sadly, there are many complex factors that can lead someone to intentionally – or unintentionally – leave animals behind. We are thankful to work alongside the many local agencies and County services working to address some of the root issues that can lead to animal abandonment.

News stories like these can leave us feeling overwhelmed. But there is something you can do to help abandoned animals in your community. When you donate to Bucks County SPCA, you help feed, shelter, and provide medical care for animals in need across Bucks County’s 54 townships and boroughs. Make a donation today and help us be ready to answer the call for help tomorrow. Together, we can make a lasting impact, one life at a time.

(Support your local animal shelter. Donations made to national groups like the ASPCA or HSUS do not fund local animal shelters like Bucks County SPCA.)

This , we are celebrating a special pup who was a long-time shelter resident.

We are pleased to announce the adoption of Rusty, our 4-year-old Australian Cattle Dog Mix!

This handsome boy came to our Lahaska Shelter in December 2022 as a stray and moved to our Quakertown Shelter last year. All staff loved him and his pawsitive attitude. 🐾 He showed his intelligence and loves to learn. To set him up for success, we required a unique adoption process and a special adopter to fulfill his behavioral needs through positive reinforcement training.

Last month, he found a new home! The adopter has already called to share that Rusty is a fantastic dog. She said he is doing great and sends big hugs.
(Rusty and his new mom pictured right)

Congrats to Rusty and his adopter! 🎉

Meet S’mores and Ginger, 11-month-old , ready to find their new homes.

S’mores is a toasty love of fur. (Photos 1-3) He loves to hang out in his hut when he is not munching away on his salad and veggies. https://buckscountyspca.org/pets/smores/

Ginger (Photos 4-5) got his spicy name from his coat coloring because there is nothing spicy about this little piggie. His favorite time of day is food time! His squeaks can be heard from outside of the room. https://buckscountyspca.org/pets/ginger/

S’mores and Ginger previously lived together, but are not required to be adopted together. As always, we recommend doing a slow and supervised introduction if there are any other piggies already in the home.

They are both a little hand-shy so you should go slow when entering their cages, and they will need some time and work to come out of their shells.

If you are interested in either of these sweeties, stop by our Quakertown location to meet them today!

In honor of and Team USA winning gold in Women's Gymnastics last night, Coco is going for gold too! Like every smart cat, she knows how to stick the landing.

Coco is only 2-months-old but already has a huge fan base. She struts her stuff trotting across tables, cat trees, you name it and it's her catwalk.

When she is posing for pictures, she likes to stretch out on a sofa or enhance her shots with a fun ribbon toy. She was fostered with siblings but has not been around other furry friends, so we recommend slow introductions to any house pets.

Happy ! Last month, our 9-year-old Chihuahua, Stella, was adopted by her perfect match.

We rescued Stella in November from a home where she was not receiving good care. She was suffering from fleas and a terrible skin infection. It took months of medical treatment to get Stella feeling better again.

She is on a prescription diet which helped immensely with her recovery. In time, she recovered in our shelter and transformed back into her upbeat and spunky self. Stella is a good eater and loves her special food. Our staff and volunteers are big fans of this little dog!

We are so grateful that a veterinarian adopted Stella. She will provide Stella with the best care to keep her looking and feeling good.

Her adopter called us soon after adoption and said Stella slept in bed with her the first night and they are so happy together! She also shared that she had an exam and did great.

Congrats to Stella and her adopter! We wish them both more joyful days ahead! 🎉

Our champion kitten, Olive, wishes you all a Happy Olympics Opening Ceremony Day. The Summer 2024 Olympic Games in Paris begins today!

Olive wants you to know that the ancient Olympic Games prize was an olive wreath, also known as a kotinos in Greek. The wreath was made from branches of the wild olive tree Kallistefanos Elea that grew near the temple of Zeus in Olympia.

A sweet 3-month-old with a lot of love to give, Olive is not only snuggly and cute but also very playful and energetic. Olive will make a great playmate, napping buddy, and furry family member. She was fostered with littermates but has not been introduced to other animals. Slow and monitored interactions with house pets are recommended.

“I’m Darwin, a 3-year-old Poodle mix. I’m not much of a social butterfly. I’d rather stay at home and play with you! As you can see, I know all kinds of cool tricks like crawl, sit at doorways, and go to my bed. I love to learn new things. I’m 60 lbs., and available for adoption at the Lahaska Shelter!” This goofy boy flourishes with positive reinforcement training. He is excited and proud of himself when he learns something new! Continuing this training method with him (lots of treats for good deeds) and celebrating small victories with him, will lead to bigger ones. Interested in meeting our dandy Doodle?

Good morning! We love being greeted by these cheerful goats. They are not ready to go home yet, but we are happy to report that nearly all the chickens have already been adopted! We received nearly 200 rescue assistance requests to help the animals rescued from Narrow Way Farm. Thank you for your patience as we work through them. And thank you to everyone who has donated toward their recovery. We promise to use your gifts as intended to help provide the good food, shelter, and medical care these animals need and deserve.

Fresh pasture to enjoy at BCSPCA!

Safe! And happy at the BCSPCA barn.

As always, the community answers our call when we need more animal supplies. Donations from our Chewy and Amazon Wishlists have been pouncing into our shelters! Cats and kittens like Bisou here are so excited and happy to have more toys. Plastic balls, crinkle balls, toy mice, and even ping pong balls make great entertainment for our shelter cats. Interactive toys like roller 3-level turntables with balls have been donated too! Bisou and all of our shelter cats and staff say thank mew. 🐾❤😻 (*Bisou was adopted!*) #BucksCountySPCA #ShelterPetsRock #BucksCountySPCA #RescueRehomeReachOut #KittenSeason

Which animal has the brains of the Quakertown Shelter? Look no further than Strider, our active 3-year-old #AustralianCattleDog! It’s thrilling to train with him using positive reinforcement methods. He has many tricks up his paw, learns quickly, and makes the average trainer look brilliant. This beautiful pup weighs 44 lbs., adores long walks and hikes, and adventures outdoors on a long lead. Strider was initially fearful at the shelter. He has made incredible strides, thanks to our wonderful staff and volunteers. Due to his previous fearfulness, Strider has been known to “stride away,” so he always needs to be on a leash. We are hopeful to see him succeed in a new home, so we are offering two free training classes to his lucky adopter! Continued training will help him continue to build up confidence.

Our staff is all #PawsIn for Uncle Marlin! Mr. Marlin is a high-energy, fun-seeking two-month-old kitty that loves to bound to the top of a cat tree. He's never met a toy he doesn't like and will even play with a tennis ball. He’s very intelligent and enjoys showing the training tricks he has learned with treat rewards.

Look who’s walking on sunshine! This is Strider in his element – enjoying the company of people he trusts on a long lead bouncing through the great outdoors! What a contrast to the dog you’ll find cowering in the back of his kennel. If you come to meet Strider at our Quakertown Shelter, all you will see are his feet. He will be hiding on the far side almost out of view. Strider has been at the shelter for over a year waiting to find a home. The shelter is a stressful place for fearful dogs like Strider, but with patience and consistent training, he’s learned to trust us and showed us his great potential. This diamond in the ruff will shine with someone who is committed to help build his confidence through continued training. We’re so eager to see him succeed, that we will give his adopter 2 free training sessions at the shelter to help Strider put his best paw forward at home. Anyone interested in learning more or meeting Strider can email us at [email protected]. Is your house already full? Please share to help us find him a home.
