For the first time in its 50-year existence, every animal in the care of a Pennsylvania animal shelter has found a forever home, pulling off a Christmas miracle. This year’s holidays were calm for the Adams County SPCA; two weeks after all of the kennels were full of rescued dogs and cats, they were empty.
“The Adams County SPCA is empty for the first time in 47 years, particularly around Christmas. It really is miraculous! Facebook posts were made by the shelter. “We are really happy and appreciative. In order to provide these animals with care and make sure they find loving homes, our staff and volunteers have worked really hard.
The sanctuary has successfully reunited 26 strays with their owners and put 94 animals in new homes since November 1, 2023. On their Facebook page, they shared the tales of their most recent adoptions, such as the cat Bootsie who provided autistic support to Hope, a young child. “Hope no longer has tantrums and practices expressing her emotions; instead, she cuddles with Bootsie,” the family reported.
The public and other shelters have flooded the shelter with requests to take in more animals as a result of their success. However, the Adams County SPCA is currently concentrating on their county and surrounding areas because to the large amount of local animals in need.
Only 4.1 million of the estimated 6.3 million animals that enter shelters each year find homes, meaning that many of them will continue to have uncertain fates. To assist in lowering the number of animals in need, the Adams County SPCA kindly asks the public to think about adopting from shelters.
