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:

  • Second Chance Program — long-haul rehabilitation for animals who need extra time before their forever ride.
  • Pets for Veterans — pairing veterans with new four-legged co-pilots.
  • Low-cost clinics — wellness care and spay/neuter services that keep pets with their families.
