Remember Smudge, who we introduced you to yesterday? Well… he has a brother!

Meet Omicron!

While Omi can hear just fine, he shares plenty of other qualities with his brother. He’s goofy, lovable, and incredibly sweet. He can be a little shy when meeting new people, but give him a little time and he warms up.

Once he feels comfortable, he’s all about enjoying life and spending time with his favorite people.

Omicron is open to meeting savvy kids and other dogs, and thanks to our Fresh Starts Adoption Event, his adoption fee is completely waived through Sunday!

Come meet Omi and see if he’s the missing piece your family has been looking for.

If you needed a reminder that the cutest dog of ALL time is available for adoption (and his fee is waived thanks to an amazing donor), here it is.

Tydel is so very happy. He has the brighest future, full of so much love...but once upon a time that wasn't promised. He arrived here in bad shape, but our amazing medical team did what they always do - made him all better.

This happy, stocky boy deserves a home. Is this his time?

Tydel's adoption fee is sponsored by a donor, and so many other dogs in our care have their fees waived through the weekend thanks to Freshpet.

Come see him today (or anytime through Sunday!)

𝐈𝐦𝐩𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐚𝐧𝐭 𝐔𝐩𝐝𝐚𝐭𝐞 - 𝐑𝐚𝐠𝐝𝐨𝐥𝐥 𝐑𝐞𝐬𝐜𝐮𝐞

Thank you to everyone who has reached out following our recent Ragdoll rescue.

The response has been overwhelming.

Unfortunately, the volume of calls and emails has made it difficult for us to respond to other important inquiries, and we want to take this opportunity to clarify a few things.

The Ragdolls are not available for adoption at this time.

There is no waitlist for them.

Our adoptions happen on a first-come, first-serve basis.

Our policies and procedures can be found here: https://www.pspca.org/adoption-process

The vast majority of the 78 rescued ragdolls were adults.

There were very few kittens, and their availability is not guaranteed.

We'd encourage anyone hoping to adopt a Ragdoll to watch for our adult cats, who make wonderful companions.

We will post an update here when they are ready, so please monitor our social media channels, and our website, as an alternative to calling or emailing.

In the meantime, we have plenty of animals looking for homes right now - including our dogs, many of who have their adoption fees fully waived this weekend thanks to our friends at Freshpet. We'd love for you to come meet them! 🐶

Sven’s party ear is up and he’s ready for Day 2 of our Fresh Starts Adoption Event!

We can’t believe this handsome guy hasn’t been scooped up yet. Sven is the total package. He loves people, is open to meeting kids and other dogs, and has been an absolute rockstar at offsite events and media appearances.

We’re hoping today is the day he finally finds his perfect match.

Thanks to our friends at , Sven’s adoption fee is waived through Sunday, along with all other dogs who have been available for 30+ days.

Now’s the time to adopt!

Robb may not have found his forever home today, but he's still smiling.

Why? Because several of his friends packed their bags and headed home during the first day of our Fresh Starts adoption event!

Now, this handsome Shepherd is hoping tomorrow will be his turn.

Robb is still learning about the world and he's looking for a patient family to help him build confidence along the way. Having a canine companion in the home would be a huge bonus, as he thrives with other dogs and takes comfort from their guidance.

He's smart, stunning, and so deserving of the chance to experience life beyond the shelter.

Our Fresh Starts adoption event continues through Sunday and Robb's adoption fee is waived, along with the fees for all dogs who have been waiting 30 days or longer for a home.

Today wasn't his day, but maybe tomorrow will be.

Our Fresh Starts Adoption Event begins today!

We’re hoping to help so many deserving dogs find the loving homes they’ve been waiting for, including Smudge, this week’s The NEW 96.5 Bennett’s Buddy.

Smudge is deaf, but with a little management, some simple sign language, and a family willing to learn alongside him, he has everything he needs to thrive. He’s affectionate, playful, and ready to show someone just how special he is.

Smudge is open to meeting savvy kids and other dogs, and thanks to our friends at Freshpet, his adoption fee will be waived during the event.

Come meet him!

Yesterday, and the days before, were difficult. Unimaginable really.

But, today, more than 70 cats and kittens get the chance to begin again.

They are undergoing medical examinations, are living in clean, comfy environments, and soon will be ready to find their families.

Learn about the large scale rescue of 78 cats from one deplorable home and please consider making a donation to our lifesaving mission: https://www.facebook.com/share/p/18pWPyVJ8v/

Seventy-eight lives are safe today.

But the conditions they were living in before are difficult to comprehend.

When our Animal Law Enforcement team arrived at a home in Lancaster County yesterday, they were met with overwhelming heat, dangerously high ammonia levels, and rooms filled with waste, debris, and trash stacked from floor to ceiling.

The air was harsh, but officers spent hours working through those physically demanding conditions to ensure every animal could be found and brought to safety.

Hidden throughout the home were 78 Ragdoll cats and kittens.

Some were frightened. Some were sick. All were living in conditions no animal should ever have to endure.

With the assistance of the Lancaster Township Police Department, our team carefully removed every cat from the property.

Today, they are receiving forensic examinations, medical care, nutritious food, clean bedding, and something many of them may not have experienced in a very long time - relief.

They are not available for adoption at this time, but soon so many lives will have a chance at a brighter future in those forever, loving homes.

This June, the Pennsylvania SPCA turns 159 years old. Since 1867, we have been showing up for animals in the hardest conditions, on the hardest days. If you'd like to help us continue that legacy, there's no better way than helping these 78 cats right now. Our Day of Giving is June 22, but these animals need care today.

Please consider donating towards their care now.

"It's hard to believe she's still here."

Those are the words Celeste's friends use when talking about her, and honestly, we couldn't agree more.

Sometimes wonderful dogs get overlooked simply because they've been waiting a little longer. Celeste is one of them. This beautiful brindle Cane Corso mix has been waiting for six months for no apparent reason.

The reality is that Celeste is an incredible dog. She's playful, affectionate, and loves spending time with her people. She's also open to meeting other dogs and children who are comfortable around a larger pup.

The good news? This weekend could finally be Celeste's fresh start. As part of our Fresh Starts adoption event, running tomorrow through Sunday, her adoption fee will be waived, along with the fees for all of our adoptable dogs, thanks to .

We think it's time for Celeste's story to have the happy ending she deserves!
