Pennsylvania

rescue organization started by Sharon Doyle and Michael Hart to rescue and nurture abused, abandoned and unwanted animals.

Here at the Humane League of Lancaster County, we are trying to build the best community anywhere to be an animal. This is happening due to our innovative and life saving programs. As a shelter, not only is it important to help homeless animals find new and loving homes, but it is also about helping our community's pet needs. This could be through our Spike's Pet Pantry (pet food pantry), Safe Haven (temporary emergency housing), low cost vet clinics and services, etc. I personally have been with the Humane League's parent organization, Humane Pennsylvania, for over 5 years. I started as an Adoption Counselor, assisting clients primarily with strays, surrenders, and adoptions. I am now the Donor & Alumni Relations Coordinator, where I help to cultivate donors, send out acknowledgements for donations received, help manage social media and other tasks as needed. I absolutely love what I do, it is an extremely rewarding job.

I am a 44 yr old female who has turned the 2nd & 3rd floors of my paid off home, into a cat rescue/sanctuary. My kids are now grown & although two still live here they except what I do. I rescue cats from outside or unsafe situations. I also pull kittens from the streets and TNVR the moms to help with the over population issue. I do it because the need is great and I just can not sit back and do nothing.

Saving lives and finding Furever Homes for Philadelphia's homeless cats- a few paws at a time! We are small but mighty, with big dreams and plans of a brick and mortar rescue to increase our impact on the lives of Philly cats!

We are a non-profit, no kill animal shelter that has been serving our community and other surrounding communities since 1964. We work with humane officers in the County to take in and vet stray animals and then place for adoption. We also accept owner surrenders. I am the treasurer of the Board of Directors. I have been at this position for 2 years now.

Vision: Our volunteers dedicate their lives to nurturing the needs, both medically and emotionally, of all dogs at Peace, Love, and Poms Rescue with the goal of finding their perfect forever home. We envision a world where every dog has a safe and loving home. Values: We are committed to educating pet owners and building a community that respects companion dogs as well as provides them lifelong homes and necessary medical care. Our organization promotes the importance of proper care, consistent vaccinations, and spaying and neutering of domesticated animals. Our values are comprised of compassion and respect for both humans and animals. Peace, Love, and Poms rescue is proud to base our organization on empathy, integrity, and devotion. Peace Love and Poms Rescue is not a shelter environment. All our dogs are placed in loving foster homes where they are treated like family until a forever home is found

My name is Calla Gibson. I am a 2020 graduate at Delaware Valley University with a B.S. in Small Animal Science and a minor in Large Animal Science. I plan to attend vet school in the near future to obtain my DVM. I have been working for Dianes Discount Pet Supplies and Adoption Center for 8 years. This is where I began rescuing cats and kittens. Once it got larger, I decided I wanted to start my own non-profit rescue especially with all of the support I receive on a daily basis. It started years back with just a few bottle-raised kittens but then turned into about 30-40 kittens in a season. I also have been working for The Affordable Spay Neuter Clinic and Pet Care as a veterinary technician for 6 years. This is where my passion for spaying/neutering also began. Dr. Silberman is a dedicated doctor striving to limit the amount of unwanted animals in the US. He just exceeded his 20,000 surgery this summer and I am so happy to be apart of this. I also did my final senior seminar presentation on the affects of the feral cat population in our ecosystem. They are not only in the top 100 invasive species list but they are also killing native wildlife that is upsetting the balance in the world we live in. I truly believe that if everyone contributed to helping the feral and/or stray cat who is reproducing 3-4 litters in a season this would not be so much of a problem. Spaying and neutering is the only thing that will help keep the cat population at bay and everyone needs to be aware of the severity of this problem. I rescue kittens and cats because I know that at 6 months of age they will start to reproduce and make more kittens so if I rescue 30 or more kittens in a season that is a lot of litters of kittens I can prevent in the future. My biggest thing with people bringing cats into me is to try and catch the mother cat because she is either already pregnant and/or is going to become pregnant again because of the kittens that were just taken away from her. My biggest pet peeve is for the mother cat to be trapped and then fixed because saving those kittens ultimately will not fix the problem.

Formed in 1913, The Center for Animal Health and Welfare (formerly the Northampton County SPCA) is a private organization. We are not affiliated with any other SPCA or ASPCA. We are not a government agency, but are a non-profit organization with a 501c3 status. In 2003 we committed ourselves to saving lives and became a no-kill shelter. We are dedicated to providing a safe and healthy environment for animals. We have improved our foster program, increased adoptions and offer a low-cost spay/neuter program. Fund raising, donations and bequests make up 90% of our income and we apply for many grants. Adoption fees, relinquishment fees, memberships and agreements with some of the local municipalities, to take in their strays, generate the rest of our revenue. Although we greatly appreciate the help from the municipalities that do support us, not all do. Northampton County contributes about $5,000. Financials We are responsible for a $900,000 operating budget annually. Our major costs are: Veterinary care Medical supplies Kennel supplies Spay/Neuter expenses Insurance Utilities Payroll. Adoption We make every effort to find loving homes for these scared and lonely pets. We do not set a fixed time limit on animals, but keep them for as long as they remain adoptable.
