Lycoming County SPCA
Our Mission
The Lycoming County SPCA is dedicated to protecting domestic animals by providing shelter, emergency treatment, and humane care throughout the county. We are committed to connecting best friends and fostering safe, loving outcomes for every animal in our care.
Our History and Community
Since 1892, we have proudly served our region for over 130 years as the area’s only full-service shelter. As an independent, 501(c)(3) nonprofit, we rely entirely on the support of local donors, members, and our community to sustain our mission of protection and education.
How We Care
We operate a professional, privately run facility where our team works tirelessly to provide shelter and essential medical assistance to domestic animals in need. Our services include an in-house low-cost spay and neuter clinic, investigations into cruelty complaints, and support for animal welfare through community education and counseling. By maintaining a capacity of care, we ensure that every animal under our roof receives the high-quality attention they deserve.
Your Partnership in Adoption
We believe that every adoption is a joyful, lifelong partnership, and we carefully guide you through the process to ensure a perfect match for both you and your new pet. From our initial consultations to post-adoption support, our team is here to provide the resources you need to build a happy home together. Whether you are adding a dog, cat, or other domestic companion to your family, your decision to adopt changes a life forever.
