Most of
you have heard about the thoroughbred weanlings that are now residing
at the SPCA barn. Karen Rohrbaugh (owner of Seeing Things Visual Arts)
incorporates horse hair into some of her beautiful pieces of jewelry!
She has used some tail hair from some of the weanlings at the SPCA and
is selling the bracelets to raise money for the horses. You can look
good AND support horses in need! Proceeds from the sale of these bracelets
will be donated back to the shelter to aid in caring for the horses
that donated the hair.

Thoroughbred weanlings
seized on November 16th, 2011 January 19, 2012
Due to the continued
support of the volunteers who work with the horses on a daily basis,
each horse continues to improve. We expect a full recovery and look
forward to the ultimate release of these horses from our facility into
their future homes.
There is an urgent need for straw at this time and volunteers are still
needed for stall cleaning and feeding. If you are interested
in helping, please call 717-334-8876 ext. 26. We will continue
to need sawdust and funds to help pay for the care of these animals.
Thank
you for the outpouring of donations and support for these horses.
Your continued donations are greatly appreciated and will help support
their needs!!!

When you adopt a pet you save the life of
two animals, the one you take
home and the one you've made room for.
We thank you for your
interest in our adoptable pets. When you adopt a pet from the ACSPCA,
you are giving an animal a second chance at life and we hope you will
encourage other people to consider adopting from their local animal
shelter. Please take a look at some of the wonderful animals we have
for adoption. More come in every day, so please stop by and visit.
Please watch our TV Show
"Pet Talk" to see our adoptable animals on ACTV (now Community
Media) Channel 19 on Tuesdays at 9:00 p.m., Wednesday at 9:00 a.m.,
Fridays at 6:30 p.m., and Sundays at 4:30 p.m. or you may now watch
the "Pet Talk" show online.

must be current on vaccinations and be spayed or neutered. If you have
a copy of your animals shot records please bring them along. If you
already have a dog and are interested in adopting another canine companion,
we require that the two dogs meet at the Animal Shelter, on neutral

Your responsibilities as a New Guardian:
You must take your new pet
to a veterinarian for a health check within 15 days of adoption.
You must have an adult animal spayed or neutered within 30 days of adoption.
We seek PERMANENT, lifetime homes for the animals in our care.

adopted from our Shelter, you must return the animal to us. Please note
that an appointment must be made in advance to return an adopted pet
or to surrender any other pet to our Shelter.

within 30 days, then the Spay/Neuter Deposit will be refunded
