We have never had cats as part of our family, but we were looking to add a fur baby. The facility made it easy to get to know the animals before choosing a family member. Every person I came in contact with seemed to really care for the animals and wanted them to go to loving homes. They were helpfu...
Well, the holidays are here and the Brandywine Valley SPCA has sent out letters requesting donations. I went on to their website to take a look at the Form 990 for the past couple of years to get a feel for how the organization is doing . According to the Form 990 for 2014, Adam Lamb, the Executive ...
An amazing staff that truly cares and goes above and beyond to help animals...and get them connected with their "people" families. Sabrina and I are grateful, and I know Vivvy the cat sure is!
My mother had to get our dogs vaccinated today and one of the receptionist ladies had the worst attitude. She was annoyed by my dogs barking and projected that onto my mom while paying for everything. You d think that if someone works in a vet they d be able to handle dogs barking and not get mad a...
I adopted a 4 month and I just wanna say that my life has never been better. The people were so friendly and brought out the puppies that I wanted to see without any hesitation. So helpful in answering all my questions. This was my first dog and hopefully won't be my last.
Magnificent !!
You will love this place
I love this place. The staff are awesome and I have a dog that I just love so much from Brandywine valley spca. Thanks you guys
I adopted my dog back in July and have had an incredibly positive experience. Before I made up my mind on my beloved dog, they allowed me to sit with 6 other dogs so that I could test out my compatibility with them. I thought that I may have been annoying for wanting to see so many dogs, however the...
I would recommend Brandywine Valley SPCA to friends and family. We had a great experience. Staff were very friendly and helpful. They guided us and gave us good advice. We are so happy we came to Brandywine SPCA.
Our experience with the CCSPCA was, and continues to be the worst experience we have ever had with any business. First, we had out dog neutered. Within 3 days he developed an infection which almost killed him. We tried to contact the spca, which we had no response. We had to rush our dog to our pers...
We have adopted from this location in the past. The care for the animals is so apparent when you see the cleanliness of the facility and speak with the amazing people that work there
Do not adopt any animals from this place. They gave my son and his wife a puppy which turned out to be very sick now they do not want to cover the cost of her hospital treat
This place is a death trap for any animal who ends up there. DO NOT support it with your money or time. Pray for the creatures.
I have adopted two dogs out of here. One was named Mickey we had her for 14yrs and we had to put her down because she was in constant pain and then adopted a dog named Phoebe
Rescues Dogs & Cats in distress...
Rehabilitates them if necessary and finds happy holmes for them.
It's a NO-KILL shelter
Making donations to help animals and dog adoption process was great and done in steps from meeting with the dog , to meeting our dog, paperwork process. All very smooth
We had such a wonderful experience at the Brandywine Valley SPCA! The staff was extremely helpful and patient with us! They helped me and my husband find our perfect dog! Thank you so much!! We will definitely be returning in the future!
The staff/volunteers were very knowledgeable and honest about the dogs we were looking at. They genuinely care about the animals they look after and help you find the perfect fit. We had an amazing experience! Thank you!!
Adopted our k9 from this spca. As much as I appreciate their mission and think that every single location is great, this one stands above the rest. They really have everything together. The place is clean, the pets are cared for and the staff loves their work. I suggest this SPCA to anyone in West C...
I have already recommended you all to friends already. Your staff & volunteers are amazing, they care nicely for your animals and are well educated & caring. LOVE that you are a no-kill shelter. I adopted Magic last week and it was an awesome experience and she s acclimating well. We already had a d...
Nico was amazing! I explained our family situation and she made sure we had the perfect fit! She is amazing with the animals and people alike! Thank you Nico for making my daughter smile again
My daughter adopted an 11 month old puppy on mothers day this year. The cost was $250 not to mention everything else the dog needed. However this was something she signed up for so she knew the potential cost the dog is a beautiful Collie mix who traveled overseas and has been thru hell. But even...
Went to adopt a German Shepherd there, and during the application phase one of my room-mates moved out before they were able to meet the dog. My house was set up, had all of the supplies I needed, had a Vet appointment, and was 100% ready to rock, then they call me and tell me that I cannot adopt un...
Fantastic day for the"National Clear the Shelters" except for the hot humid weather, it was a wonderful experience for me and my grandson to adopt a new family member.
The staff was extremely friendly and welcoming. They made the adoption process smooth and easy.
The vets and staff are first-rate. I've never had better care, even at places that cost 3X as much. They heroically tried to help me with my ailing little dog, but when all efforts failed, they were so caring and sensitive when we had to let him go. I am so thankful to them all for their caring a...
Inquired about adopting a small dog and no one ever got back to me. What s the point of filling stuff out for them and they don t work with you to save a baby? Nice place, the dog s pens were well constructed and were clean. Whatever.
We appreciated the patience and helpfulness of all staff and volunteers as we picked out the best cats for our home situation. The kitty goodie bags were a really nice and unexpected touch, too!
We donated sheets and towels for the dogs. While we were there we visited the pets. The staff was very helpful and happy we made the donations.
If only all the shelters were like this one! No kill, clean, friendly, very good with pets. Staff is wonderful. Pets are well cared for and fed quality food. No dirty pens! I could go on and on. I am very impressed. I adopted my sweet little Kyle here. I highly recommend! I drove long distance fro...
Awesome team of people,everyone smiles while they work with all the pets! Shout out to my friend Haydon!
Despite numerous emails, donations and adoption requests Not one response!
The staff was very kind an patient even on a day like the mega adoption they took the time to answer my questions and take time to address my concerns and even walk my new dog around!
Wonderful facility and faculty! Very helpful with feral cats
An amazing, amazing experience and I would recommend them to anyone trying to give a puppy or any animal a forever home!
I would highly recommend Brandywine Valley SPCA! I stopped there on my way home to New England for the clear the shelters event and came home with my wonderful kitty. Although there was very high volume due to the event, the staff was welcoming, organized, and very pleasant to interact with. The fac...
This is the second time we have adopted a feline from the BVSPCA. I am a former vettech and am pleased with the cleanliness and the helpful staff.
It was a great experience right up until we were going out to the car with our dog. There was a volunteer standing by our car with the dog he was walking and talking to someone. The dog he was walking lurched towards our dog and some upper middle aged woman yelled at us, tell8ing us the dogs had to....
Always a pleasure to stop by and visit the animals even if I don't adopt. Thank you for your services and all you do for the animals!
The mega adoption was obviously super busy but they did their absolute best to answer every question we had about Oakley before adopting him to make sure we were as comfortable as possible before bringing him home. They also gave us tips for the long run since he had some temperament issues and made...
We recently adopted our dog, everyone was very friendly and gave us his back ground. He is a wonderful addition to our family. He s very loving, calm and friendly. I could Not be happier :)
The staff was accommodating and knowledgeable about the animals and also the process of adoption. We worked with rescues before coming to the SPCA, and they weren't very transparent or helpful in guiding us through the adoption process, and that was not the case at the SPCA. It was also great to se...
I adopted a Cat, Who came with Gigantic fleas and a advanced respiratory infection. She died in her sleep on Wednesday the 18th. She was 2 months and 4 days old. The other cat we adopted pulled through and is now healthy. We are still mourning her death. I hope the people who could have stopped this...
First, I would like to respond to the people who left less than stellar marks for CCSPCA due to an animal they adopted that was not "perfect" once they brought them home. Specifically, the woman 'Kate' who adopted a cat 10 months ago & the cat ended up peeing all over the house. I have done voluntee...
Well organized, clean kennels and rich selection of animals.
We found our perfect addition on day 2 of the Mega Adoption Event. He is shy and quiet but is getting lots of love from our family.
All the employees were super nice. They were quick to help me and I have nothing bad to say about my experience there.
This place is amazing! It is clean and the animals are the priority. They have upwards of 60 dogs at any given time waiting and ready for adoption. They have wonderful camps for kids in the summer called critter camp. They have tons of help for people with cats or dogs with food and things. They nee...
Adopted our dog here and had a great experience. Our dog had a couple issue at the time of adoption that we knew about. After a few weeks she was full speed and doing well.
Lost my baby a year an a half ago there's not a day that goes by i don't miss her. It was my lucky day when i was in the Chaddsford area and the SCPA of Brandywine was closing up for the day at a remote site. Its was like this little guy was waiting for me because he peeked he's head around the corn...
I volunteer to walk the dogs and socialize with the cats. Of course I'm going to be biased and say that I love this place. Rescue an animal today!
I love these people! They just did spaying and neutering for a mom cat and her 4 kittens for us, and it's so much cheaper and less hassle than our former vet. They did and excellent job! We also had a male neutered last year, and they also dis a great job. All of our cats bounced back to normal with...
It s been years since I have been to this location. The upgrades and renovations look amazing. The staff were very helpful and polite. The place was very busy but we got through it. We adopted Tink who we have now renamed Tahlia . She is the sweetest cat and enjoys kids as well. She s very much a...
I tried to get a job here not too long ago. I have worked with animals for 3 years, and one of those jobs was working as an animal care assistant in a veterinary hospital. So I have plenty of experience. Had an interview almost 3 weeks ago. The staff seemed friendly, however I could tell almost inst...
Very clean environment kept for the animals while they await their forever homes. The staff and volunteers are incredibly friendly and helpful. You can see very quickly the caring hearts of the staff and volunteers.
I adopted my dog here and the people are very nice and helpful!
My family has adopted a few animals from this particular facility and we find that the building is very clean and management as well as their staff are warm and welcoming. They doing a great job especially in this time of difficulty. I would definitely recommend coming here if you are thinking about...
Well Cleaned for soon to be pets. Plenty of staff. Answered all questions.
My wife (Patti) and I were owners of McGruff. We called him Bubby. We bought him at Chester County Pennsylvania animal rescue where my nephew and his girlfriend spotted him and sent us his picture. We fell in love with him right away. Bubby was the coolest dog in the whole wide world. He listen...
BVSPCA is a no kill shelter for cats and dogs. They always have plenty of adorable furry babies, just waiting to be adopted. The shelter is closed on Mondays to the public. They offer summer camp for children, have a volunteer and fostering programs. Adoptable animals have been spayed/neutered and ...
They were great! As first time dog owners they were very patient with us and answered all of our hundreds of questions. Even helped us pick the perfect puppy for our situation. The paperwork was all in order and we were set. Even gave us some tips and tricks for the first couple days. I highly recom...
We came from NJ (former Chester County residents) because Minnie's description online seemed like what we wanted. There were no surprises as she was as described ...a lovely senior cat.
Everybody was very friendly and helpful, and the animals had plenty of space and care. The staff was aware of each pet s circumstances as much as they could be, and new which pets were anxious or shouldn t be around other animals/little kids/a noisy house. I also adored the fact that you have a work...
My son and I adopted our wonderful puppy a little over 2 weeks ago. There was very little staff available to show us the puppies, but 2 of the staff were very nice and friendly. We met with 2 puppies before deciding on the one for us. She is a joy and our 4 year old lab mix loves her! For this I...
The staff and volunteers were very helpful and understanding through the whole process! We were looking for a pet that would fit best in our family. There was an unfortunate issue that sadden both my family and SPCA members but they were quick to be empathetic and quick to fix our situation.
Brandywine Valley SPCA is one of the most well organized adoption agencies for pets that I ve ever seen. Everyone is so courteous and kind and caring and even more so passionate about what they are doing. I truly enjoyed my adoption experience and so glad that we have a new addition to our family!
This shelter is fantastic. We came in to find a new feline member to our family and found the perfect fit with Willow (previously known as Gimlet). The staff was helpful and caring. The animals were very well looked after and they have an amazing track record for getting pets into forever homes. ...
As a full time volunteer at the CCSPCA I see what happens on the inside. I can say I have spent the last year watching the positive changes this organization has made and they are wonderful. From becoming the first open access NO kill shelter, their safety net programs to assist the community and a...
The shelter had a great variety of dogs in ages and breeds. The volunteers were super helpful in asking us what we needed, helping us meet the dogs we wanted, and giving behavioral training tips. The front desk person was really great in helping us adopt our dog. Great shelter
Let it be known that I am a huge animal lover and rescue supporter. But after my experience here I will no longer support this facility. To make a very long story short, my boyfriend and I were interested in a dog. We didn't adopt him right away because we were given barely any time to spend with hi...
We just got our puppy at the Mega Adoption event. We had a great experience. All the volunteers were so helpful. We are loving our newest addition to our family!
Very polite staff, clean / well taken care of animals, large variety to select from.
Super nice people but it took us 4 hours to get a cat and there was only one person ahead of us.
The staff and volunteers are very helpful, friendly and care about the animals they care for.
Total experience was wonderful. Great place and staff..
Very Professional Staff and They have a lot of passion for what they do and they made the Experience very Enjoyable! Great Experience! Meet Tigger !
The staff cares for all animals left in their care. Dine know how they do it,and make it look so easy. This is why I saw people and their new pets leave so happy. I thank them for what they do.
Update: Kitten Pear is doing very well now, in fact he is an absolute, adorable monster. BV SPCA was very kind and helpful with costs of caring for him after a serious health scare. Beware of vets that won't commit to a diagnosis and tell you that your pet could have a totally normal illness or a t...
