What Can You Do to Help Prevent Animal Cruelty?
  • Notify the SPCA if you hear about animal cruelty taking place. This includes everything from someone torturing cats, cock fighting or dog fighting, or if you know of an animal in your neighborhood that is not being provided with adequate food, water or shelter.
  • Find out what animal friendly legislation is being considered in your state. Check out the ASPCA's Lobby for Animal Welfare Page

  • Encourage your childrens' school to include humane education as part of the curriculum.

Who We Are

The SPCA's mission is the prevention of cruelty to animals by providing:

  • A shelter to house unwanted homeless animals
  • An adoption program to place these animals into caring, permanent homes.
  • Humane education programs to enlighten the public about animal problems.
  • Humane law enforcement and prosecution programs to address animal cruelty.

We accept ANY and ALL unwanted animals into our shelter. We do NOT charge a fee for this service, but we do ask for whatever donations people can afford.

  • The SPCA strives to ONLY adopt animals into suitable homes.
  • The SPCA NEVER sells animals to laboratories for experimental purposes.


The Luzerne County SPCA is primarily funded from within the community we serve. All monies raised by the SPCA are used to serve the local animal population. In Pennsylvania, there are NO state, local or federal funds set aside for the SPCA. Please help us help those who cannot speak for themselves, and in the process make our community a better place to live.


SERVICES PROVIDED BY OTHER AGENCIES
  • Pick up of lost or stray dogs - this service is provided by municipal animal control.
  • Dead animal pick up along highways is provided by the department of transportation that is charged with responsibility in any given area. This could be PennDOT or the local municipal DPW.
