The Susquehanna SPCA is committed to bringing about a time when there are no more homeless animals and every companion animal will be guaranteed a loving home. We work to accomplish this goal through our spay/neuter, adoption and education programs.
Our Adoption Process: Potential adopters may come in anytime during open hours and visit with our available animals. Meet with one of our adoption counselors so that we can get to know you and find an animal that best suits your needs and lifestyle. If you are applying to adopt a dog and you currently have other dogs, we may request a meet and greet at the shelter (your dog must be current on rabies). Once an animal is selected and we feel that it is a good fit for your home, you typically will be able to take the animal home that day (unless there is a special circumstance that requires the animal to stay at the shelter longer). Review and sign our adoption agreement. Receive your new pet’s medical history, rabies certificate and microchip information. Animals must be spayed or neutered prior to being adopted. If your pet is not old enough, you will be able to take them home and sign a foster-to-adopt agreement. Once your pet is fixed, we will complete the proper paperwork and finalize the adoption. We reserve the right to refuse any adoption for any reason.
