Meet Lily ā€“
Lily was dropped off to us matted from her neck to tail. After being shaved, she feels like a new gal again and is ready to find a loving place to call home. Lily is a senior cat who loves her pets, rubs, and scratches but is not into being held. She also loves quiet naps in cozy places. Lily gets along well with other cats and is updated on her shots. If you would like to learn more about her follow the link to her bio https://www.adoptapet.com/pet/42172248-pottsville-pennsylvania-cat

Understanding the Pause of Hillside SPCA's Humane Program

At Hillside SPCA, our commitment to animal welfare is unwavering, and our mission has always centered on rescuing, rehabilitating, and rehoming animals in need. However, there have been a lot of questions regarding the temporary pause on our humane program. This decision was not made lightly, and we wish to provide clarity surrounding this pause and the situation we currently face.

For over two years, our shelter has been dedicated to handling a particularly large and complex case that has stretched our resources and capacity. While we have always welcomed animals in need, our current circumstances have pushed us to maximum capacity. Each animal in our care deserves attention, love, and adequate space to thriveā€”and we pride ourselves on the quality of care we provide. By pausing the humane program, we ensure that we can focus our energy on the animals already in our shelter, ensuring they receive the best possible care.

During this pause, we acknowledge that there may still be concerns regarding animal cruelty and neglect in our community. We want to assure you that these issues remain a priority. If you witness any instances of animal cruelty or have concerns about a specific situation, we urge you to report it to your local police department or appropriate authorities. You can also seek assistance from humane officers affiliated with other agencies, contact information for whom can be found on the Department of Agriculture website.

While our humane program is paused, our commitment to advocacy and supporting the well-being of animals remains unchanged. We continue to encourage responsible pet ownership, community education, and the importance of spaying and neutering pets to prevent future overpopulation.
We understand that animal lovers in our community may feel concerned about this decision, and we assure you that it is only temporary. We hope to return to our full spectrum of programs and services in the near future, allowing us to resume our mission of promoting humane treatment and care for all animals.

In the meantime, your continued supportā€”whether through donations, volunteering, or simply spreading the word about our situationā€”is invaluable to us. Together, we can work towards a future where every animal is afforded the care and compassion they deserve.

Thank you for your understanding and support during this time. We look forward to keeping you updated on our progress. Together, we can make a difference in the lives of so many animals in need.

Sincerely,
The Hillside SPCA

Check out Lokiā€™s earsā€”theyā€™re just as big as his heart! This playful guy needs to go to a home with a fenced-in yard where he can channel his playful energy. Loki can play intensely with other dogs but he does get along with some female dogs. Loki has lived with children before and is house-broken and crate-trained, but he would not be good in a home with cats. Come meet Loki and see if heā€™s the perfect fit for your home. https://www.adoptapet.com/pet/41614709-pottsville-pennsylvania-dutch-shepherd-mix
