Spay/Neuter
Controlling the animal population is one of our four missions. Spay/neuter is the answer to th e overpopulation problem. The York County SPCA is fortunate to partner with several local veterinary hospitals to ensure that we can collectively spay/neuter as many animals as possible. The following are our low cost spay/neuter partners:
Animal Emergency & Referral Center
Hill Street Veterinary Hospital
East York Veterinary Center -
In addition to helping with low cost spay/neuter services, the East York Veterinary Center helps the York County SPCA with overpopulation by serving as a satellite shelter. The East York Veterinary Center temporarily houses adoptable pets at their hospital until they can find a permanent home. This includes dogs, cats, birds, and small animals.
The York County SPCA is most appreciative of the help. If you would like to have your pet spayed or neutered, please contact the York County SPCA at 764-6109 ext 121. You can choose from any of the aforementioned hospitals. Thank you to these local veterinary hospitals for their support. Together we can make a difference!

Foster Homes Needed
Our kennels are full and we want to expand our Dog Foster program, and we need your help. Can you provide a temporary home for a dog while we search for their forever family? Some dogs do not thrive in the kennel environment so your home may make the dog more adoptable to potential families. And by keeping the dog in your home, we have space to house an additional dog in the kennel.
Please contact Lisa Belsinger for more information @ 717-764-6109 ext 129 or lbelsinger @ycspca.org
