Excellence is not just a goal – it's our DNA.
Excellence
The York County SPCA aims to be a leading animal resource center. We embrace change, challenges, and strategic risk. We are committed to providing the highest quality of care and service to every animal and human that comes through our doors.
When we fall short of our goals, we own our responsibility for any misstep, study how to do better, and acknowledge that failure helps us grow and advance our mission. We move forward with passion, perseverance, and optimism.

Evolve & Improve
At the York County SPCA, we continuously evolve and improve ourselves. We understand that achieving greatness requires strategic innovation and focusing on the minutiae of operations. We strive for excellence in every facet of our work, from medical treatment and behavioral enrichment to adoption, fostering, and positive community outreach.
