The York County SPCA encourages pet owners to have their pets microchipped. This provides a permanent form of identification for your pet in the event that they become lost and lose their collar or tags. A microchip (the size of a grain of rice) is implanted under the skin below the back of your pet’s neck by needle. The implantation is painless and performed in just seconds. A scanner is then used to scan the animal and pick up the microchip that traces back to the owner. The York County SPCA receives thousands of stray animals each year and is only able to return approximately 3% of these animals because they did not have any identification. Microchipping is now recognized in Pennsylvania as a lifetime license so owners who have their dogs microchipped can register their dogs for a lifetime license and not have to purchase annual county licenses.
Our community is inundated with pit bulls and consequently our shelter is, too. We know that it is imperative for York County pit bulls to be spayed or neutered. This would alleviate their overpopulation that leads to so many pit bulls ending up at our facility. Because of this issue, we provide FREE spay/neuter for any York County pit bulls. If you have a pit bull in your family and would like to learn more about this program, please contact us at 717-764-6109 ext. 125. If your dog is mixed but primarily pit bull, your dog may still be considered for the program. Please ask us!
