YCSPCA Important Update to Canine Intake

Starting July 1, 2024, the York County SPCA will implement a new stray canine intake process. They will only accept stray dogs from a contracted animal control officer (ACO), a York County police department officer, or a Pennsylvania state dog warden. This change is necessary to create a safer and more reliable animal intake process, aligning them with best practices in shelter animal intake across the United States. The YCSPCA will continue to accept stray canines and other domestic animals from contracted municipalities. The only change is how the animals arrive at their facility. YCSPCA needs a more professional intake process to meet the skyrocketing demand for their services.
