York County SPCA

A nonprofit organization


The York County SPCA is more than a shelter — we’re a lifeline for thousands of pets and those who love them.

Every day, animals arrive at our doors needing safety, healing, and hope. And every day, we show up for them — because of you.

We rescue and rehome stray and displaced animals, investigate animal cruelty, advocate for those without a voice, provide critical veterinary care, and promote responsible pet ownership to create a safer, healthier community for all.

But here’s the truth: More than 70% of our funding comes from individuals like you. We do not receive support from the national ASPCA — every dollar stays here in York County.

This Give Local York, your gift powers life-saving work for the most vulnerable animals in our community. With the rising number of homeless, injured, and at-risk pets entering our care, your support is more critical than ever.

Make a difference today. Give love. Give hope. Give local.
