Found in a park, barely able to walk, Cruella came to our shelter in desperate need of help.

She was diagnosed with bilateral medial patellar luxation (MPL), a condition that, while manageable, left her waiting for someone to see her for who she truly was. For months, Cruella was passed by again and again.

Then, one day, a family came along who saw beyond her diagnosis and opened their hearts to her. They gave her a chance, and in return, Luna - her new name - has blossomed into the most beloved family member.

If you’re thinking about adding a new member to your own family, don’t overlook the animals who so often are. You just might find a soul who will love you unconditionally, as Luna has found with her family.

How can you not smile looking at Brucie?!

This handsome pup recently found himself back at our shelter, but he hasn't once let it bring him down. He still has an insatiable love for life and people, and is sweet, playful, and full of hope.

All he needs now is a place to call home.

Brucie is open to meeting other pups and kids who are okay with his large size! He is more than ready to bring his love and light into someone’s life.

Could that be you?

They say the eyes are the window to the soul. But, in Tiberius' case his eyes aren't even there...but his kind and gentle soul is on display in so many other ways.

This beautiful boy loves everyone he meets, but being without eyes has seemed to limit his adopter pool. It shouldn't.

While he may bump into things, he is eager to learn. He may rearrange your furniture, but he'll also rearrange your heart and open it to so much love.

Please consider visiting this handsome hunk today.

Just one week ago, 12 dogs were rescued from horrific cruelty.

Their eyes speak volumes - more than words could ever express.

Yet, in their gaze, there's a glimmer of hope. They have endured the unimaginable, but today, they begin a new chapter on the road to recovery.

Read about their plight at https://www.facebook.com/share/p/16BHSyy1Tx/.

"They all look so deflated."

"Do you mean defeated?"

"Both."

Last week, our Pennsylvania SPCA Animal Law Enforcement team rushed to a property in Northumberland County after local police discovered a horrific scene.

What our officers found was devastating: three deceased dogs frozen to the front porch area, and inside, a house of horrors.

The home was filled with trash and debris, where 11 severely malnourished dogs—primarily Anatolian Shepherds—were confined in pen-like enclosures and crates saturated with excrement. Some crates were stacked on top of each other. Though metal bowls were present, not a single one contained food or water.

Every dog's pelvic, rib, spinal, and skull bones were clearly visible through their skin. A single cat was also discovered, her bones easily felt when our officer removed her from her crate.

Most alarming were bowls of bright green liquid scattered throughout the home, emitting a strong chemical smell—likely a cleaning solution that some animals may have ingested. Two dogs were in such critical condition they required immediate emergency veterinary care.

Now at our Philadelphia headquarters, our team fought to save all 12 animals. Tragically, Pumpkin and Brownie continued to decline as their kidneys failed from toxin ingestion. With their bodies already so fragile, we are deeply saddened to report that they succumbed to their ailments.

Despite all of their suffering, these animals have the sweetest souls. Though visibly depleted and timid, their eyes plead for the love and care they've been denied for so long.

We're giving them that love. And we promise to bring them justice.

Your donation today directly supports the emergency medical care, nutrition, and rehabilitation these animals so desperately need. These innocent souls were actively dying when we found them—how many more like them need our help?

Please donate now. They can't wait—and neither can we.

Today marks the beginning of a beautiful new chapter for our sweet boy, Murph.

After an incredible outpouring of love on social media, the perfect family stepped forward to give him the forever home he so deserves.

Here’s to the countless snuggles, the lazy afternoons, and all the love that Murph will now receive. ❤

There’s a special kind of magic in the world and Z**i is living proof of it.

When our Animal Law Enforcement team first brought Z**i to our shelter, he was in rough condition. He was underweight, covered in fleas, and could hardly walk with weakness in his back legs.

But now, almost a year later, Z**i is better than ever. His friends can’t stop talking about what a sweet, happy-go-lucky pup he is. His energy is infectious and you can't help but smile when you're with him.

His glowing reviews continue on outside of the shelter, as well! Z**i recently went on a little adventure with one of his friends and shone like the star he is. He walked like a champ on his harness and simply relished in the kind of life that will one day be his for real.

If you can give this perfect, short and stout guy a home, please come meet him today. We are open every day from 12-6:30pm.

*update: adopted!*

At 15 years old, Murph shouldn't be living in a shelter.

But yet, he is.

Through no fault of his own, Murph has found himself without a home once again. But still, he remains one of the sweetest dogs we have ever met.

His tail still wags with excitement every time he’s around someone, and his heart is so full of love. He adores being around people and asks for so little. Murph deserves to feel safe, loved, and cherished in his golden years, just as he’s made others feel.

We desperately want to find a home for Murph as soon as possible - the shelter is no place for a senior dog such as him. If you have room in your heart and home, please consider giving him the chance he deserves.

No catchy words. Just a puppy growing up in a shelter.

We’ve told you about Ang before. He was brought to us after being stabbed. We don’t know why or by whom.

That was in September when he wasn’t even a year old. Now, nearly 6 months later, he’s still here.

He love everyone he meets, though he doesn’t want to live with other dogs. Please help us get him out of the shelter by sharing.

Yesterday we celebrated the adoption of hero dog Ceaser, who had served his country before facing unimaginable trauma.

It was truly a day to memorialize. But, the truth is there are still heroes in our shelter waiting for homes.

Dondo, who is nearly 11-years-old, is one of them. This senior dog spent his entire life in the service of others only to be discarded at a "rescue" meant to be his retirement home.

Luckily, our Animal Law Enforcement team stepped in. But, a shelter is no place for this hero dog. He deserves to be in a home living out his final days in peace and comfort.

Please spread the word about Dondo. He is looking for a home with those who have experience handling dogs trained specifically for military/law enforcement work. He is open to meeting other dogs.

If that's you, please email [email protected]. Let's get this hero the homecoming he deserves.
