The Brandywine Valley SPCA cares for more than 18,000 animals each year with a 95% save rate. They're lost pets hoping to be reunited, stray and abandoned animals, cruelty survivors and pets at risk in other shelters. As one of the largest animal welfare organizations in the region and one of the few remaining open access shelters, an average of 51 animals per day come through Brandywine's doors seeking safety, love and hope.
Founded in 1929, Brandywine is the first open admission no-kill shelter in Pennsylvania and Delaware. The organization provides animal protective services for Chester County and much of Delaware County in Pennsylvania, and it holds the contract with the Delaware Office of Animal Welfare to provide state-wide animal services for dogs. Animals are placed through five adoption centers. The Pennsylvania centers include the West Chester Campus and the PetSmart Everyday Adoption Center in Plymouth Meeting. In Delaware, they include the New Castle Campus, the Dover Campus and the Georgetown Campus, plus remote cat adoption centers in PetSmart and Petco stores.
In addition, the Brandywine provides families with high quality, low-cost veterinary services at its four clinic locations: the Malvern Animal Health Center, the New Castle Animal Health Center, the Dover Animal Health Center and the Georgetown Animal Health Center. Brandywine also operates the Animal Rescue Center (ARC), a facility dedicated to helping animals with additional needs prior to being ready for adoption, such as cruelty cases, disaster victims and infants.
