Meet Charm! 🐶 She has been on many fun Shelter Skip Day outings! As you can see, she enjoys meeting new people, walking and exploring the park and town, and car rides. 🥰 This 8-year-old girl would love for her forever family to come by and adopt her soon. Please stop by our West Chester Campus to meet Charm today! ❤

We know this sounds like the best time ever. Stop by a campus nearest you to take one of our pups out for a Shelter Skip Day! This program not only benefits our shelter pups by giving them time away from their kennel and exposing them to potential adopters while out on the town, but these field trips give our human participants a rewarding day of doggie cuddles. It’s a win-win for everyone! West Chester, New Castle, Dover, and Georgetown Campuses, as well as the Animal Rescue Center, are all open to Shelter Skip Day participation. Shelter Skip Days are available to members of the public Tuesday – Sunday and can last from an hour to all day. Whatever works for you, works for us!

Play hooky with us and stop by today to get in on the Skip Day fun: https://bvspca.org/shelter-skip-day

Help a dog in need by giving it a day out. Brandywine Valley SPCA's Shelter Skip Day program is open to the public. Adopt Charm at our West Chester Campus located at 1212 Phoenixville Pike, West Chester, PA 19380 | PA Kennel License #01647
