Every spring, concerned citizens begin finding helpless newborn and very young kittens who are then brought to us at a sometimes overwhelming pace.  By caring for some of these kittens for up to 8 weeks as a foster parent, you can help us give them a strong start to a happy and healthy life. We’d like to thank our 2012 Foster Kitten Program Sponsor Meghan Barbera whose generosity leads the effort this year.  Please join Meghan and the staff and volunteers of the Bucks County SPCA to ensure that this year’s Kitten Season has more happy endings than ever before!  For more information, please contact Carol or Lisé at the Lahaska shelter or Christy at the Quakertown shelter.

Bucks County SPCA's Levels Puppy and Dog Obedience Classes are starting March 25th in Lahaska and April 3rd in Quakertown.  Register online right now and start class within the week with this "no wait" class.  Our Levels Dog Classes are open enrollment which means you register for class, attend an orientation class without your dog (available three days a week) and get started on the next day we hold class.  We have three days/times to pick from at two locations.  Levels Puppy class is held once weekly every week.  As our Puppy class fills, we add on another class which means now you have more options on class days and times.  Go to our Public Class page right now to read all about it.  Specialty classes like Canine Good Citizens and K-9 Nose Work are coming soon!

Kicking off our 100th Birthday Year!

Cali, a bichon frise, was adopted by Ron and Millie Edmond in December of 2009 from BCSPCA.  Cali was 1 of over 100 Commercial Kennel Breeding Dogs that were offered "Safe Haven" after Pennsylvania's new kennel laws had taken effect earlier that year.  Ron and Millie were no strangers to our shelter, they had adopted their miniature poodle, Farrah, a few years before.  When it was discovered by our veterinarian that Cali had multiple mammary tumors, (as did many of the females from the commercial kennel dogs that resided with us), Millie had no fears of adopting her.  Millie is also a breast cancer survivor. 

Whew! The 2010 kitten season is over!

This past year we temporarily placed 260 kittens in foster care. These were kittens that were brought to us under-aged and under-sized. Our foster homes cared for and socialized the kittens until they were big enough to come back to be spayed or neutered and placed into new homes.

This is where we are asking for your help. These 260 kittens were cared for by 26 fosters. Some families took in 1 litter and some took in several, the need is great. We need more foster homes as the 2011 kitten season is soon to begin.

For a limited time only, donors making a minimum $20 gift to our Centennial Campaign will receive a very special token of our appreciation – a dog or cat charm bracelet designed by local artist Pearl Mintzer.   The unique charms showcase BCSPCA alumni animals and are wonderful tributes to them and to shelter animals everywhere.  Bracelets are available at our Lahaska shelter.  (Sorry, we aren’t able to mail them.)  Celebrate your love of animals and your support for our work with our “charming” dogs and cats!

They have finally arrived!  Premier Busy Buddy products like the Kibble Nibble and Tug a Jug as well as Fun Kitty Egg Cercizer and Treat and Twist have hit the shelves.  These are a few of the enrichment products the Bucks County SPCA plans to offer for sale to the public.  The Kibble Nibble was a favorite of Tony the Lurcher, and an intregel part of keeping him mentally stimulated.  Tony spent one year and almost four months at our shelter while waiting for his court case to go to trial.  "Enrichment toys keep dogs and cats busy while providing an outlet for their natural drives like foraging, scavaging and hunting", says CPDT-KA certified trainer Diane Herstine.  "There is nothing like a tired pet at the end of the day and food dispensing toys can help expend mental energy."  Check out our selection of cat and dog busy toys today!
