The Adams County SPCA is a private nonprofit organization that receives NO federal or state funding.  We receive less than 1% of our annual operating budget of $741,000 from Adams County tax revenue. We do receive donations from several townships/municipalities for our much needed services, but we continue to struggle to support the very important task of caring for the many animals that come through our doors. We do fundraising, memberships, apply for grants and receive some bequests. We take in approximately 1,200 animals per year and each year that number increases.

The Adams County SPCA is supported by six Full-Time employees, five Part-Time employees (including one Veterinarian) – along with an active Board of Directors, and many committed volunteers who help support the work of the shelter.
