The Rescue Run: Brandywine Valley SPCA

Every adventure dog was once just a dog waiting for their person. The Brandywine Valley SPCA makes those first rides home happen, and they're the partner we're proudest to roll with.

Why the BVSPCA Rides Shotgun With Us

We work with the Brandywine Valley SPCA all the time, they're one of the biggest forces for animals in our corner of Pennsylvania and Delaware. As Pennsylvania's first no-kill, open-admission shelter, they never turn an animal away and still maintain one of the strongest live-release rates in the region. From adoptions and low-cost vet care to cruelty response and pet food assistance, they're running a full-service pit crew for pets and the people who love them.

A few of the programs your donation fuels:
