See the impact of your work in the eyes of every animal we help.
We call ourselves #TeamBVSPCA. We’re passionate animal advocates deeply committed to our work and continuously innovating how we do that work.

It’s hard work with big rewards in every life you save, every pet you help, every family you help.

The Adoption and Customer Service Staff is responsible for greeting customers, answering phone calls, executing the adoption process, and providing customers with an excellent Brandywine Valley SPCA experience.
Customer Relations Specialists are on the front lines of providing excellent customer service and resources to pet parents in Chester & Delaware counties in Pennsylvania, and the state of Delaware.

Must be organized, appreciate attention to detail and data gathering, be a good listener, converse with people to understand their needs/concerns, and display problem-solving skills. Must be able to think on your feet, stay calm under pressure, and have a background in customer service or social services.
The Humane Society of Harrisburg Area (HSHA) serves over 600,000 people in Dauphin, Cumberland, and Perry Counties, providing support for homeless, abandoned, and lost pets while offering various programs and services to assist the community. In partnership with the Brandywine Valley SPCA, which serves over 14,000 animals annually across Delaware and parts of Pennsylvania, HSHA is able to expand its impact. As the largest no-kill shelter in the region, Brandywine Valley SPCA provides hope and care to animals in need and offers affordable veterinary services to pet families through its Animal Health Centers. This collaboration strengthens both organizations' efforts to ensure the well-being of pets and the people who care for them.
The Clinic Receptionist provides compassionate care of clinic patients during scheduling and appointment check-in and check-out. They utilize exceptional customer service with all clients, whether on the phone, in email, or in person at the Veterinary Resource Center (VRC). With guidance from the Clinic Coordinator and Veterinarians, the clinic receptionist will address any concerns or questions from the public and work to ensure all have a positive experience.

Must love animals! Sure, that seems obvious, but you need to really love animals. It's not all puppies and kittens, although they are a big perk. The work can be hard, physically and emotionally, but the rewards are huge.
And people, too. We believe deeply in the human/animal bond, so our work is about helping people as much as it is helping pets. This could be adopters, pet families visiting our clinic, or community supporters.
Ready for a challenge? The employees who thrive in our organization rise to the challenge, from stepping up to help in a natural disaster to taking the extra time to figure out how to help a frightened dog or cat feel safe.
Self-starters wanted! We believe there are always more ways to help save lives. We need folks who take ownership of their role, break down barriers, and bring new ideas. In return, we offer virtually endless learning opportunities and prioritize career growth from within the team.
Give us a call or stop by one of our healthcare locations for more help.
