Surrendering a Pet

The Pennsylvania SPCA offers an owner surrender program for pets that meet certain criteria as space in our shelter becomes available. The PSPCA is Philadelphia’s largest no-kill shelter, with a save rate of 97%. We will never euthanize an animal for space or time.

If we are unable to accept your pet into our shelter, we will direct you to another shelter. The Animal Care and Control Team of Philadelphia (ACCT Philly) also accepts owner surrender pets. Visit the ACCT Philly web site for more information.
