Brandywine Valley SPCA is bringing its nationality-recognized programs and expertise to the District of Columbia. Expanding services include taking over animal control and care, field services for injured and stray animals, wildlife services for the District, along with intake diversion, adoptions, and basic animal medical and wellness.

Supporting our community by providing the resources needed to improve the lives and well-being of animals is what we do.
Losing your furry friend or finding anothers beloved animal can be a harrowing and emotional process.
"See something, say something." Most cases of cruelty or neglect come to light when someone close to that animal makes a report.
No one should have to part with their pet for financial reasons. Our pet food programs help pets stay with the families who love them.
Through our behavior team, we're able to offer free support to our adopters, foster families and pet owners seeking behavior assistance.
After more than two years in our care, our longest resident and staff favorite, who spent time at multiple campuses, found his furever home in April 2024. From Florida to a loving home, Snoops adoption story is a heartwarming reminder of what love, time, and care can do. In February 2022, this sweet boy was brought to us from an overcrowded shelter in Florida. He spent time at multiple campuses and in foster care, where he learned to trust and relax with other animals. Finally, in April 2024, Snoops family found him and gave him a new home. He has been making lifelong memories with his family, including enjoying life outdoors and snuggling with his cat sibling. Happy tails to Snoop and his perfect match of a family!
