Our mission & vision

Founded in 1929, the Brandywine Valley SPCA exists to end animal suffering and to involve the entire community in the welfare and well-being of animals. Our mission is to put the human back in humane animal treatment and advocate on their behalf. Our vision is to be the recognized leader in animal welfare that empowers communities to treat life with respect and dignity.

How we do it

We never stand still. There are always more ways to make an impact on the lives of the dogs and cats who need us, as well as the families who love them. We were the first open admission no-kill shelter in Pennsylvania and in Delaware, and we led Delaware to becoming the first no-kill state in the country. We take care of families with low-cost veterinary services and programs to help them keep the pets they love during hard times. And we help struggling communities become stronger to save more lives.

We help nearly 20,000 animals a year

We provide safety, love, and hope to lost pets hoping to go home, abandoned dogs and cats, cruelty victims, pets to be rehomed, and animals at risk in other shelters.

Give back to your community

Open the door to endless possibilities. Together, we will create positive change within our community, help control the homeless animal population, and improve the lives of pets and their families.
