Hundreds of pets across the region will be looking for homes for the holidays as part of Brandywine Valley SPCA’s (BVSPCA) December Mega Adoption Event in partnership with national non-profit organization Petco Love. The winter event will be held at all BVSPCA locations, as well as other regional participating shelters throughout Pennsylvania, Delaware, New Jersey, and Washington, D.C. on Dec. 13 and 14 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. Dogs, cats, puppies, and kittens at all participating shelters will be available for adoption for just a $35 fee throughout the event.

“Our Megas provide a lifeline for so many pets who have lost everything. It’s truly inspiring to see these pets chosen by families eager to give them a new life full of love,” said Adam Lamb, BVSPCA CEO. “By bringing this Mega Adoption Event into our campuses and into the shelters of our partners, we are looking to save more lives, reach more local adopters, and open space to more pets in need in our region and beyond.”

"December and the holidays are a time filled with love, and there’s no better way to celebrate than by opening your heart and home to a shelter pet in need,” said Petco Love President Susanne Kogut. “We’re proud to partner with Brandywine Valley SPCA and local organizations that work tirelessly to find loving homes for pets in their care. These Mega Adoption Events show what’s possible when a community comes together with one shared purpose: saving pet lives.”

Adopters should bring a leash and collar for a dog adoption (also available for purchase), a carrier for a cat (cardboard carriers will be available for purchase), a valid ID, and the adoption fee. BVSPCA campuses will facilitate outdoor meet-and-greets for folks who bring dogs in their home to meet potential new canine family members.

BVSPCA-led Mega Adoption Events powered by Petco Love since 2016 have found homes for more than 21,000 pets.
