Time for a cozy and heartwarming story! Read on to hear how paths crossed at the perfect time for Bucks County SPCA adopters to find their one true love:

“The universe has guided us to our sweet boy Otis.

He is the most perfect, lovable, sweet, and sleepy Frenchie boy 🥹🖤 We couldn’t have asked for a better fur companion!

✨ How we met ✨
Keith and I were on our way to Peddlers Village. Keith decided to take me on a stop beforehand that he said would make me happy. Once we arrived and saw the sign (SPCA) I made it known that there was NO way I was leaving without a companion. So we go in and see the cats (which were adorable!) but didn’t quite feel a connection. Then Keith wanted to look at the dogs. And there he was… my dream dog… a French bulldog?! Our hearts were instantly full, we knew he was the one. Otis! We are so very excited to do life with you and for all the adventures we will embark on together 🐶”

Otis came to our shelter as a stray and was adopted in this meant-to-be moment only a few days after he became available for adoption. His adopter updated us that Otis is so comfortable in his new home, and got to experience his first snow day with them!

Thank you to Otis’s adopters for giving him the best new life, and thanks to all of our adopters who open their hearts and homes for our animals.

You can find a new friend in a fated meeting like this by browsing our available animals for adoption at https://buckscountyspca.org/pets/

Hi, my name is Oscar. I’m a 3-year-old mixed breed. I may look a little pensive, but I’m no grouch. Life has been a little ruff lately since I lost my home just before Christmas.

I was nervous when I first came to the shelter, but the people here are kind and patient with me. With each passing week, I am more comfortable and now I enjoy going out for walks on the trails around the shelter – and, of course, getting treats for my good behavior! Sometimes I startle easily, but with a friend by my side, I can relax and have fun.

I will do best in an adult-only home with people who will be patient with me while I settle in. If you have dogs at home, we can schedule a meet-and-greet here at the shelter before you adopt me.

I’ve really enjoyed the positive reinforcement training during my time at the shelter. It would be fun to continue my learning with you – let’s sign up for a training class together. If you adopt me, you’ll get discounts on BCSPCA training classes!

I weigh 26 pounds and am neutered, microchipped, and up to date on age-appropriate vaccines. Please stop by the Quakertown Shelter to meet me today!

*ADOPTED!* Cute kitties alert! Greetings from Jude (calico, female) and Cardan (black, male) who just went up for adoption today. They enjoy playtime with each other and making new friends like you! Jude enjoys snacking on a treat or two, and Cardan is a curious and affectionate boy, ready to play with humans.

Jude and Cardan are 3-month-old kittens looking for a cozy home to curl up in, and they are ready to be the next best addition to your family. (They don't need to be adopted together.) Watch out - our kittens tend to fly out of the shelters quickly. They might not be available for long! Keep an eye on this post for adoption updates.

Jude and Cardan are microchipped, spayed/neutered, and started on age-appropriate vaccines. Meet them at the Quakertown Shelter today!

Look who’s ready for a new home… Say hello to Butternut, a 2-year-old pitty mix who was found in New Falls on New Year's Day. She had the good fortune of spending a day with Middletown Township Police Department enjoying lots of treats and attention. She did well in the car on her joyride with ACO Keen – thanks for delivering her safely to our shelter in Quakertown.

Weighing in at 48 lbs, this friendly bundle of joy is eager to find love! She’s a tail-waggin’ treat lover who loves doing her zoomies in the play yard. Butternut needs a home that can support her active lifestyle and keep up with her high energy. She will do best in an adult-only home because of her size and energy level.

As always, we recommend that she meet with any other dogs in the home before adoption and for the best chances of success, she would be best with dogs of similar size and energy levels.

Like all dogs adopted from BCSPCA shelters, Butternut has been spayed, microchipped, and started on vaccinations. She tested negative for heartworm.

If you’d like to meet Butternut, stop by our Quakertown Shelter today.

Babs will leave puppy prints on your heart. This 6-year-old Pitbull Terrier mix is loving and thrilled about life. Babs loves her walks outside as she is a curious gal, always sniffing out the next adventure.

She can be a bit goofy at times, but that's just part of her charm. Babs enjoys being the center of attention and would like to be your only dog. She can get excited around people, so she is looking for a home with humans ages 15+ who will understand that her space is very important to her.

Babs is slowly learning to gain more confidence. We recommend getting her into positive reinforcement training classes to set her up for success in her new home. Adopters receive discounts on BCSPCA classes! https://buckscountyspca.org/get-help/dog-training-classes/

Babs weighs 28lbs and is spayed, microchipped, and up to date on age-appropriate vaccinations. Come say hello to this sweet face at the Lahaska Shelter! https://buckscountyspca.org/pets/babs/

Boop, hop, and hello from our 10-month-old Dwarf Rabbits, Cheddar (male) and Liquorice (female).

These beautiful bunnies prefer to take their time to warm up to people and would love an adopter who can be patient with them as they adjust. We do know that they love lots of chew toys to play with.

🐇 Rabbits are as playful and silly as puppies, as independent and curious as cats, and can be as loyal and affectionate as dogs. With proper care and nutrition, rabbits make wonderful pets.

🐰 New to owning a rabbit? We provide House Rabbit care books to adopters! We also have a free pet behavior helpline with rabbit care advice.

Hey-o from Milo! This wonderful guy is searching for his new special person. He is 7 years old and looking for a quiet place to call home and relax.

With his good looks and amazing personality, he feels pretty confident he will find a BFF to hang out with. Milo is a little shy but he can be active and playful and enjoys calming pets once he warms up to you.

We recently rescued a horse named Wyatt and four goats from a property in West Rockhill Township. These animals had no shelter and were living in unsanitary conditions. We had been to the property previously and ordered corrections. Our team made several follow-up visits, sadly on the most recent visit we found a mini horse who had died. The animal was sent for necropsy (animal autopsy) and we are awaiting results. Due to the owner’s failure to comply with orders, we removed the remaining animals with a warrant.

Wyatt is an 8-year-old quarter horse cross gelding who had largely gone unhandled. With assistance from Quakertown Veterinary Clinic staff, Pennridge Regional Police Department, and a friend of the shelter who helped with the use of their trailer, we were able to safely transport Wyatt to our barn in Quakertown. Our medical team and staff made sure Wyatt was in good condition and took care of him until we could coordinate placement with Days End Farm Horse Rescue in Maryland. Wyatt made the trip south on Sunday and he’s settling in well.

The four goats remain in our care while receiving medical treatment. We are optimistic that they will make a full recovery. We look forward to finding new homes for them as soon as possible.

Charges have been filed against the owner. We are grateful for the assistance of QVC, the police, and the community for the sake of these animals. And to everyone who donates to our Animal Relief Fund to help animals rescued from cruelty and neglect.

These cool cats are seeking the workin’ 9 to 5 life! Check out our available for adoption, Harley (6-month-old female at Quakertown), Topper (10-month-old male at Lahaska), and Feyre (5-year-old female at Lahaska).

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.

You’ll give these cats the life they crave, and they will provide a natural source of rodent control. In return for their rodent services, you will need to provide daily food and water, and a dry safe place for your cat to live in all seasons. They will need routine yearly vaccines, flea and tick preventative, and medical care if sick or injured.

Our barn cats are neutered/spayed, microchipped, FELV and FIV tested negative, and started on vaccinations and preventatives. The $10 adoption fee for working cats is a great deal! Consider adopting a pair for their benefit and yours.

New to owning a working cat? We will give you guidance to help your cat make a good transition to its new environment, and we are available to answer your questions along the way.

*IGOR WAS ADOPTED!* Transformation Tuesday! We’ve got an incredible before-after story for you today. Igor is an adult ferret who was abandoned at our shelter in September. This poor little fella was so weak and thin that his ribs were showing. He had hardly any hair, itchy skin, and a large mass on his back. It was going to be an uphill battle to get him healthy and adoption-ready.

With advisement from a retired exotics veterinarian, our medical team started him on a 2-week course of antibiotics. Thankfully, Igor responded to treatment and grew stronger. Now we could address the mass on his back. Our shelter veterinarian performed surgery and successfully removed the mass. Because ferrets are shaped like long flexible tubes, the team custom-fit a tube sock for Igor – how cute is he in it?! – to prevent him from licking at his incision site.

Slowly, Igor began to heal – he grew hair and steadily gained weight. Igor has fully recovered and is now a little over 3 lbs., which is more than twice his weight at intake! We were all truly amazed to watch his transformation and we cannot wait to find him a new home.

Igor will need an adopter who is experienced in handling ferrets, and he should not be handled by children. He is a playful ferret who enjoys enrichment toys and chilling in his hammock.

Caring for and witnessing the full recovery of animals keeps us inspired in our work!

Share this post and help us find incredible Igor a caring home where he will continue to thrive! https://buckscountyspca.org/pets/igor/

*ADOPTION UPDATE - All of these reindeer have been adopted!*

Come on Dasher, Dancer, Comet, and Blitzen! Santa’s sleigh stopped by the Quakertown Shelter a little late to drop off the cutest reindeer kitties.

Dasher is a playful girl who can be found often chasing her tail or the tails of her siblings. She is a little more on the reserved side and will also watch her siblings play. Comet is an outgoing gal who can be often found chasing moving objects and exploring her surroundings.

Dancer is a playful boy and independent. Blitzen is an adventurous little guy and loves to climb. All of these little reindeer also love feather toys!

These 2-month-old kittens spent time in foster care and have been neutered/spayed, microchipped, and are up to date on age-appropriate vaccinations. We always recommend slow introductions to animals in a new home. In foster, Dasher, Dancer, Comet, and Blitzen did well with cats and were cautious around dogs.

Meet your most reindeering friend yet at the Quakertown Shelter, and you could be dasher-ing your way home with one of these cuties today!

Hi there, my name is Suzie. I’m a 4-year-old Domestic Shorthair and on the prowl for a home that can provide the luxurious yet easy life I love – delicious meals and a comfy place for my naps. When I see the kind volunteers and staff bring me breakfast, I perk up from my naptime and get in the zone when I’m monching on my food. I tend to be a little messy and get food on my nose, do you think it’s cute? I’m a simple gal, eager to spend my life with a new family. My glowing eyes match my radiant heart, which is full of love that I can’t wait to share with you. I’m spayed, vaccinated, microchipped, and tested negative for FeLV and FIV.
