Champions of Animal Welfare

Who We Are

Our Mission

We Give Animals A New Leash On Life

We are a team of animal lovers, and we – staff, volunteers, and donors affiliated with the York County Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals – want to save as many animal lives as possible.
We do this work because we believe in our mission of providing long-term human and animal services to residents of York County through programs that find permanent, loving homes for stray and displaced animals. Every day we work hard towards helping control the animal population growth rates, investigating and prosecuting animal cruelty offenders, and educating the public about animal wellness and safety.

Our Guiding Principles

Core Values

In 2024, the York County SPCA’s board and leadership team came together to establish a set of core values that reflect our mission and guide every aspect of our work. These values – compassion, integrity, resilience, collaboration, lifesaving, excellence – serve as the foundation for our decisions, programs, and interactions with the community. By defining what we stand for, we ensure that our organization remains focused, transparent, and aligned with the needs of the animals and people we serve.

We Are Their VOice

OUR COMMITMENT TO ANIMALS

Animals enrich our lives and bring family and community together. Can you imagine what our communities would be like if we didn’t protect our beloved animals? As much as we need our animals – they need us too.
At the York County SPCA, we stand up for our animals who otherwise wouldn’t have a voice or are unable to help themselves. The staff, board, and volunteers work hard every day to build communities where a harmonious relationship exists between ALL York County residents and animals. The staff and volunteers at the York County SPCA are amazing people. It can be a tough job, but we are very passionate about animal welfare and the mission of the York County SPCA.
