Our dog had stomach issues. The vet tried to figure it out. The bills were starting to add up with no relief for the dog and no answers. In the end she wasn't eating and drinking so we brought her to the SPCA for end of life services. They asked for vet records. I had them sent over immediately. The nurse read the paperwork and said it was only an "inflamed esophagus " it's treatable and we don't feel comfortable euthanizing her. The dog could barely lift her head. I said she hasn't eaten and now she won't drink. She won't take any meds. She wouldn't even eat doggie ice cream anymore. The nurse shrugged her shoulders and said we could just leave her there or take her to another clinic. By 11 pm she was dead at home. I do not recommend the SPCA. The nurse never paid the dog an ounce of attention. She read the vet report and didn't ask any further questions. When we tried to volunteer information, she just kept shrugging her shoulders. read more

This place is ridiculous. I took my cat there to see the doctor. I got there at 8 AM , had to wait ALL DAY before he was seen. My entire day was shot. I didn't get out of there until close to 5pm. read more

They're busy but they're very good. I've seen 2 different vets for my cat here and they have both been very kind and legit helpful. They explain everything thoroughly and don't rush you out of the office. On Wednesdays vaccine only visits are cheaper, arrive early! read more

I have never had a good experiance with the Erie ave SPCA. It makes me just feel horriable for all the poor animals that have to experience that place on a daily basis. read more

I have been having a difficult time to speak to someone in the office. I sent an email and hope I can get a response. Fingers crossed. If I can have a direct number, or an extension # I can dial please provide me with it. Greatly appreciated. The vet told my parents our family dog doesn't have much time to live but all they got was a receipt. No explanation or anything that can help us with our pet. I'm hoping there was a misunderstanding but regardless only got a payment receipt. nothing else. tY Ty for you help!!! :0) They got back to me.... Such a relief , they were prompt. read more

SPCA is a very affordable place that pet owners can visit to get services such as adoption, health clinic and vaccinations. I came to the Juniata location to take my dog Diamonds to get her updates vaccinations. Vaccinations are on a first come basis and it was very crowded. Our wait was about 2 hours. Luckily you can chose to wait in the car or run errands and they'll call once your name is next on the list. Our doctor was very friendly, gentle and patient. After the visit the doctor provided Diamonds with her updates rabies badge along with a free harness and leash! read more

I visited to adopt a small dog. It broke my heart to find dogs who were 5 - 8 yrs old. To think how attached these guys were before coming herebut the smell in the large dog area gagged me. When do they clean these jail cells? Horrified I was. I couldn't help wonder how some were going to homes? Only guard dogs they could be adopted and kept outside in a junkyard? Beautiful German Shepards with teeth they garnished proudly and pitbulls not happy at all. The facility needs to be inspected and cleaned more frequently. The small dogs only 6 were sad and old one without teeth...I left brokenhearted. Go visit before advising lost/found dog go there. I hope donors do a check because what you see on TV3 isn't what I saw. read more

Thank God for this organization that takes care of animals! The employees are super nice. They offer lots of services for pets and also have many animals for adoption. If you want a pet, please adopt rather than buy. They also accept donations of bedding, towels, etc at any time. It is always needed for the animals. read more

I understand that the SPCA offers care at a reasonable price, however some of the staff should reconsider their career choice. I arrived at 730 for a clinic visit I signed in and was told that someone would call me for the clinic appointment. I Returned to my car to wait for a call. I received a call and returned and was told by a very rude young lady that I needed to pay first and then return to my car to be called again once the vet was available, I went back to my car and waited for a call which never came so I returned to inquire about my status and was told there was still a great deal of people in front of me which seemed weird since there was barley anyone.was there waiting so again I returned to my car to wait some more mind you it is now almost noon again I inquire withthe young lady and she tell me that someone contacted me( Nurse) and they didn't get a response not so she said I could wait in the waiting area for the nurse to call me only to be told by the nurse that she never called me. I encountered another staff member who noticed my frustration and offered to help only to be told it wasn't my turn and would have to continue to wait. I requested a refund simply because I didn't mind the wait but the staff needs customer service training with the exception of the young lady who issued my refund. Please consider vetting you staff customer service is important people have to want to be of service. Thank you Dog Mom.... read more

I worked with Rachel who was extremely patient with me and answered all of my questions. The other workers were friendly and they would openly talk about the personalities of the dog and they're genuine. I went looking to foster a dog. I was aiming for a small dog but when I didn't see any small dogs I began to look cautiously at the medium dogs that might do well with our family. Rachel let me look for a long time and I asked many questions. There were 2 dogs I thought might work.Rachel answered more questions and set up a time for Rachel and me to spend quality time outside in a large gated area with each dog at a time. I decided on the large dog. This is not what I first wanted but after having our Foster dog for 4 weeks even through Christmas and lots of visitors it's been the best decision. He's handful but we have many hands in our home full of love to give. read more

From the low cost vaccines to the food drives for low income pets, this organization is out there to make a difference. Having been a volunteer for the organization I've seen first hand the pervasive nature of caring that everyone employee and volunteer alike share here. There are few organizations that have the reach of the PSPCA with its multiple locations and humane law enforcement branch. The vet is low cost as well. So if you end up in a pickle and do not have pet insurance than you won't find a better option. The vet staff is extremely knowledgeable. You get more than you pay for here unlike the majority of vets. This is where I found my pup! There is a vast "green house" with every type of dog. It's impossible to not find what you are looking for there. Or even to come there looking for something but having your heart unexpectedly melted by surprise! So remember adopt don't shop. read more

We had our golden doodle spayed at the Spca here and we are very happy with the care. From the scheduling phone call to the procedure and post op instructions, everyone was very nice and informative! It's not a fancy place and is not in a good area, but I know they are doing the best they can with the funds they have. They provide low cost services and, for this, I am very grateful. They took really good care of our little girl! She is recovering well. They provide an e-collar after and pain medication. read more

terrible vet they do not care about the animals or their comfort they're just trying to see as many patients as possible in the quickest amount of time. The technicians had me hold down my dog while they gave her shots even though there was 3 employees in there just watching. They charge crazy amounts for meds you could buy on chewy with the script for half the price. I was also prescribed and charged for meds I never received! They also just forgot to trim my dogs nails?? Honestly a very unprofessional vet clinic they don't answer emails either about medication refills like their website indicates they do! read more

My daughter has been attempting to adopt a dog/puppy for quite some time. She has been told on multiple occasions she cannot adopt because she does not have a yard!!!!! What bullshit is that? What about all the people who live in apartments or other row homes in Philadelphia? They all do not have yards so therefore no one can get a dog? Whatever happened to walking your dog???????? Our family has had all kinds of animals in the past she would make a wonderful furry family owner!!!!! read more

We were looking for a small dog. They only had large ones and only a few and the smell was overwhelming

Scale 1-10, service is a 5. & that's the best thing I can say about this location. I was surprisingly denied a cat because I couldn't remember an previous cat info I had 5-6 years prior. They'll have you waiting for these alley cats/stray dogs for hours (2 at minimum) just to tell you tons of issues with a cat you choose (IF) you can even obtain a cat/dog. Then throw a bill at you of what needs fixing read more

Definitely 5 stars. I went by there yesterday because my cat MooMoo died and I wanted to ask about getting him cremated. The woman at the front desk looked at me, handed me some tissue and offered kind words. I'm pretty sure she noticed how distraught I was and she was in turn very patient, very kind and I can't express how appreciative I am Bc of that. After going through the whole process, paying and signing necessary paperwork she went and got MooMoo from my vehicle with me and offered to give me a stamp of his paw. I love that. She didn't rush me to leave his side, allowed me a moment to stay with him. It was very nice of her. Very human of her and I'm very grateful for that. Thank you. read more

I would love to recommend this SPCA location. Unfortunately, they do not do what they say they will, which is return calls for the veterinary clinic. I have called countless times over the last year and have never had anyone call to schedule my dog for vaccines. The only time I received a call was when I showed up one day thinking they provided emergency services. I signed the list that was outside and they called me to tell me they did not provide emergency care and I could not schedule an appointment at that time for vaccines. They said keep calling back to leave messages and someone would call back in 24-48 hours. That was 3 weeks ago. I understand being busy. But there's a difference between being busy and not caring about customers. read more

If you really want to help an animal then don't bring them here. My cousin bought an amazing stray dog that he rescued over here once. My parents decided to adopt her and they almost wouldn't let them because they were related to the person who bought her in. it finally took some back calling to make it happen, and they almost put the dog to sleep in the process (my cousin and family literally ended up having 3 hours to get the dog out of there before it happened!). One of my neighbors had a similar experience with a cat that she chose to adopt from there. While they have workers who really do care, they also have some higher ups that could really care less about helping the animals they have. do them a favor and bring them to an organization that actually does something like Philly P.A.W.S. read more

Let me mention that my adoption experience was with ACCT the medical expereince was with the SPCA on Erie Not the best adoption process nor do they follow-up with animals you adopt from the site. My kitten could not be spayed or have her microchip put in because she weighed 2lbs, they have yet to call me to see if the kitten is up to the needed weight for the procedure (I have already done both procedures at another vet). Initially they did not let me take her so that they could do it, I was supposed to pick her up the next day. Well, 3 days later after several calls I finally got someone that told me they had not done it because she wasn't at the proper weight, which led me to ask the lady, shouldn't they know the weight needed for the procedure if they do them all the time, which she just blew off and told me to pick her up and come back when she was at a good weight. They "forget" to tell you all the issues with the animal (my kitten had a serious pulmonary infection that cost me $100.00! not to mention some sadness to my daughter when the vet said she might die,2 weeks later she was back at the vet with a serious worm problem, she was actually throwing them up!!! another $45.00. Thankfully Bella is doing very well!!!!). The only thing I was told was wrong with my kitten was a flea problem that they had take care of. SPCA I have used the vet at the SPCA with two other pets back in the 90s and I loved the way they treated my dogs so with my new kitten I sought them out when she was ill. I will say again treatment while I was there was nice, the doctor seems very caring and the girls really are sweet when they are examining your pet! My annoyance came when I picked up Bella, instantly I got a complaint saying my kitten scratched the handler, helllloooo do you not work in a vet, i'm sure a cat being a little rougher after surgery is common. They did not place the collar around my cat because she was too fiesty for them and expected me to take it home and do it but not before they said "oh she's too out of it there's no way you'll get that thng on her but she can't be licking her incision site so good luck" I was so annoyed but I figured I should be able to get it on. Got home and my kitten was so out of it she had no idea who we were and tried to attack so we could not put it on, Luckly she's been good and has not really bothered with the incision. I believe if I'm paying you and its part of your job then you should do it!!! All in all I am happy that I got my lil Bella from the site, she has been a joy!!! I believe people should adopt instead of buying a pet, there's too many animals being put to sleep unnecessarily!!! read more

Threatened to give my dog away to a shelter. Would not recommend - no genuine care for animals. I adopted a dog one full year ago. When i had to travel for a family member's funeral, I was super stressed about finding the right sitter since I didn't want to send him back to a kennel-like shelter. Unfortunately, the sitter was careless and let my dog out without a leash. He was found and brought back to the SPCA around 5pm, where they said, word for word, that if I didn't find someone to pick him up within the six hours (midnight) he would be given away for lack of care from me. I explained the situation and they only threatened me more, saying they would not give him back period. Eventually a friend of a friend who was luckily in town got him at 11pm. Awful people who do not care genuinely for an animals well being. read more

The management is rude as hell. I asked her during the clear the shelter event why was three people behind going in front of me and she was rude saying she is not changing anything and I asked for the boss she stated it's her and nobody else I can speak with well if your that rude to people I feel sorry for the animals read more

I by far have had the WORST experience at this location! At a time when I was unemployed, my cat was in need of being spayed and I could not afford it. Because I was out of options, I decided to donate my cat to the SPCA to have her adopted. I figured if I was unable to care for her the way I needed to, maybe there was another family that could. When I went to the facility on Erie Avenue, I was told that I could pay a $10 donation, and my pet would be placed in the Adoption Program. I kissed my baby goodbye, and even though I was sad, I felt good knowing that she would go to a better home. Something in my spirit did not sit right with this decision. I called not even 24 hours later and when I spoke to someone to check on my pet, I was told that she was sedated and scheduled to be put down. When trying to figure out why this would be happening, I was told that my pet was "too aggressive" therefore they had to take different measures. I would be a little aggressive too in a situation like that. When I explained to the supervisor my situation and why my cat was there in the first place, she was kind enough to inform me about the Spayed/Neuter Program for Low Income Households where my pet could be spayed for $20. I rushed down to the clinic so I could pay and get my baby out of there! When I saw her a day later, I was so glad that I was able to bring my sweetie home, but so horrified she had to go through this experience. My take on it all: I do believe that this location "attempts" to help people in situations where they are unable to afford care at other facilities for their pet, however, make sure you get all the information and follow up when your pet is left in their care just in case. To some people, pets are considered family, and I would hate for anyone to lose a loved pet over miscommunication! Pros: The office is clean, and the prices are affordable. Cons: The staff does not properly communicate between each other and the pet owners. read more

DO NOT GET YOUR ANIMAL NEUTURED HERE! I was skeptical to bring my French Bulldog to a clinic versus our primary vet, but the PSPCA assured me that they work with short nosed breeds quite frequently. When I went to pick up my dog last night, it wasn't until I got home that I realized how bad his incision site looked. It was red and swollen to the point where it looked like his testicles were not even removed. There was also a good amount of dried blood left on his leg which leads me to believe they didn't bother cleaning him off before being discharged which is unacceptable. I decided to post a photo of his incision site to a French Bulldog forum today to get some opinions on whether or not this was normal. After getting over 5 responses from frenchie parents that seemed very concerned, I decided to take him back to the clinic. The vet tech, Hunter, that greeted me was extremely rude and condescending to say the least. He brought my dog into the back to see the doctor and no more than 2 minutes later he came back out to tell me there was "medical evidence" that my dog had been licking the incision site. THE PHOTO ATTATCHED IS HOW HE LOOKED UPON BEING DISCHARGED. My boyfriend and I had opted for an inflatable kong collar to keep our dog more comfortable, but Hunter insisted he was licking the incision site. Not only have my boyfriend and I been with him 24/7 watching him LIKE A HAWK, frenchies can't even lick down there because of the way they are built. When I told Hunter I had gotten opinions from other dog owners, he proceeded to tell me that they were not veterinarians and since they did not go to college to care for animals that their opinions were not valid. He was completely insensitive to my concerns and never once apologized for how my dog was sent home. He tried to place the blame on me and was automatically jumping to conclusions. Hunter should obviously not be working with animals. No one should trust this place if this is how they treat dogs and then talk down to their owners. read more

I've had my dog for 10 yrs and have always taken her to the clinic.. shes a senior girl how and has Cushings disease... the vets are amazing with her... one in particular Dr Wilson... this is why I continue to go there even though the front desk staff are horrible... a couple are very nice but a majority that work there are just rude and unprofessional. My girl isn't acting herself... figured I'd get her checked out... voicemail message on main number says clinic opens at 8 first come first serve... so I get there at 6:30am to a sign on the door appointment only... saw a lady who worked there who told me since I was already there.. I can wait until 7am and talk to the front desk and see if they can fit her in... so I waited... another employee walked up and I recognized her as someone I seen at the desk before... I asked about fitting my dog in... and told her what the other lady said... she interrupted me..said they open at 7:30 for surgery only... I have to make an appt ... can try for Saturday... I tried to tell her I was willing to wait for the front desk... she interrupted me again saying she works at the front desk... needless to say I left ... again the Dr's here are wonderful. It's getting increasingly more difficult dealing with some of the desk people... I would not recommend bringing a pet here ... ive already started taking my cats to a different vet for this reason... ill be calling them today about my dog. read more

I want to start off by saying I think the SPCA does a great job recusing animals. That being said I understand they are understaffed and over worked. However, I don't think this is an excuse when it come to an animal's health & well being. I have been taking my dog to the same Veterinarian for the past 5 yrs with no issues. However, they suddenly shut down. I decided to take my 10 yr old Chihuahua to get his medicine refilled ( has enlarged heart ) to the SPCA on Erie Ave. The morning I took him he didn't eat his breakfast which means he didn't have his medicine, which means he wasn't feeling well. This information was communicated to the vet and technician. I also handed over his health records from his previous Veterinarian. The vet looked him over then stated he needs his rabbis vaccination & blood work done. Since I'm not a Vet , I agreed thinking he must need it., When they tried to give him the 1st needle he whelped and I stated if he is too stressed lets wait. The vet stated that if he gets too stressed out they will wait , however next thing I know they took him to the back where I couldn't see what was going on. They came back and said everything was fine, I paid my bill and took my dog home. Within an hour my dog started gasping for air, I rushed him back to the SPCA and explained what was happening. The Tech took him from me and went into the back. She came back 10 - 15 minutes later and said they gave him oxygen and that he is fine. She also stated that I needed to give him his heart medicine when I get home. She said if he's not eating then I needed to put the medicine down his throat. I did as was instructed. Within 30 minutes my dog became lethargic and falling over. He then started to twitch and gasp for air. Within 15 minutes he was gone, Needless to say I'm heartbroken. I started researching online and it states that if a dog isn't feeling well or has a condition as my dog did then a vaccine shouldn't be given. I hold myself accountable for not protecting my dog and for listening to the Vet. I have to question why the vet suggested that he have a rabbi vaccine & blood work knowing he didn't eat, knowing he didn't have his medicine, knowing he didn't feel well, knowing he has an enlarged heart, knowing he already was stressed out. I know that animals will eventually die, but I don't think a Veterinarian shouldn't do anything to contribute to a dogs untimely death. I'm not saying the vet did anything on purpose , but I do think all vets if your going to charge for an examination then actually take the time to examine. and not worry about getting to the next patient . I will admit I'm angry with the Vet & I will never forgive myself for not protecting my friend & companion. I'm sharing my heartache with everyone to make everyone aware. This is my personal opinion - with what happened with my dog I will never trust taking an animal for care to the SPCA on Erie Ave read more

This place did NOTHING to help me get my dog back. My mother had to travel 2 hours to get there and when she did, they told her that they had given away her dog to another family. Mind you, that this was our family dog, he was just missing. The staff is ignorant and very ill mannered to my mother. This place and people are pieces of shit in all honesty. My whole life I thought an organization like this was credible. Today, I learned that, that is very much not true. I am beyond appalled of how they treat people, I can only imagine how they treat their animals. read more

On june 24th we (bf&I) rescued the bundle of joy! My bf and I were looking at the dogs/puppies for about an hour we wanted to have the perfect dog.. we had others in mind when we were there but we picked up this little shihtzu and she was sooo well behaved... We brought her home and she started to cough... my bf and I were veryyy worried.. so we went back to the pspca... when we brought her back she walked up to the door entrance and she refused to walk any further... she thought we were gonna return her so cute yet sad. Anywho we brought her back and the lady that assisted us with our pup was very glad we came back to get her medicine.. she helped us right away and told us what to do.. I can tell she loves and cares for these animals in there.. its very heart warming... I would definitely recommend this place for anyone who wants to rescue :) read more

Calling the SPCA Veterinary or Wellness Clinic is beyond annoying. I called about 20 something times until I could get someone on the phone because of the automated machine telling you to press numbers. There's no specific phone number for the Veterinary Clinic, which I find very absurd and inconvenient. I respect the fact that they offer discounted Rabies/Distemper shots, but I was rushed. And the person giving the shot to my kitten obviously did not know what she was doing. She missed about 3 times ( I saw it with my own eyes and my friend saw it too. She missed the needle and some of the liquid came out onto the kittens skin. ) And obviously needs more training. They rushed to basically just shove the needle into the pet and have us be gone, which was unprofessional and rude. The wait for the veterinary clinic was atrocious. However it was not the clinics fault. (Although I felt like they could have handled it better.) Some of the people you met at the veterinary clinic were nice, others were not. For example, the person holding my kitten while she was getting a shot was nice, the person who was giving the shot(who did not seem trained at all. And obviously not a veterinarian.) looked dumbfounded as to what to do with the kitten as she poked several times into my cats skin. Overall, I felt insulted by the way that woman treated my pet. This isn't a trial and error situation and the people working there need to be better trained. read more

If you're an empathetic animal lover and people person, you can't help but feel for the animals and staff living/working in an environment like this one. But the staff are what make it bearable as you walk amongst the cages, and amazing as you go through the adoption process. They are overworked and understaffed, yet continuously work to pair the right animal with the right human (there's a perfect human for every animal, after all!). They did a thorough interview before introducing any pets to us, made solid recommendations on pets they thought would and would not be a match, stayed WAY late after closing once they knew they had a quality pet companion, and to give us a good half hour with the pet my friend wound up adopting, and were gems the next morning when we called. They remembered us, and put the lovely pup on hold. They're really devoted to caring for these animals as best as they can in such an environment, and, while trying to get them into homes as quickly as possible, doing the most they can to make sure they're going to a home where they can stay and be treated with the love they deserve. read more

This SPCA is large and relatively clean. Yes, most of the dogs here are of pitbull/terrier mixes, and I went there expectating that. What I didn't expect was the number of non-pitbull dogs they had. There wasn't a lot, but I saw some small dogs (pom mixes, chihuahua mixes, beagle mixes...even a maltese!) as well. Definitely more variety than I expected. There are also more animals than are listed in Petfinder, so make sure you give this place a chance before you make decisions! The only gripe I have is how absurdly long it takes to get help. Everyone that I came across was so nice and friendly that they were being really inefficient by being easily diverted by convo. This may make me seem like a mean person (well, I kinda am), but I was waiting around literally for an hour to do adoption paperwork that took less than 10 minutes! Anyway, my friend was able to adopt a cute beagle/hound mix. Besides the whole process, I am a fan of this SPCA. read more

I also volunteer at PSPCA and ACCT with K W (reviewer below) and I see firsthand how much time and effort the staff and volunteers put into increasing the adoptability of the animals. We have a a traveling caravan to showcase the adoptable dogs at public places like Whole Foods and PetSmart and Rittenhouse Park. I am fostering a Mom cat with 4 foster kittens through ACCT and they are all growing and healthy and happy. We have dog training classes for the public, and volunteer run shelter dog training classes. At ACCT and we check, recheck and re-evaluate dogs and we DO NOT put down an adoptable dog who has a green light and is ready to go to a home. The girls on the Lifesaving Team are depending on the good natures of fellow animals-lovers to help promote, foster dogs and cats, and help find homes for these animals. The best way to help is to visit pspca.org, and volunteer or foster or adopt one of our dogs or cats. Its a cycle, the more each person puts in, the more animals get help in the long run. read more

The SPCA on Erie Ave is terrific. I went to a site also run by the PSPCA, the sister site of the first called ACCT (or something like that) on Hunting Park Ave. I was horrified. The dogs are kept in a dark warehouse room with no windows and dim flourescent lights. The staff was ok, but the volunteers and didn't have much knowledge about what animals they had. I would like to adopt, but this place just about broke my heart. read more

Decided to extend our family so we looked online and found a few dogs that interested us . We arrived an hour before closing we connected with Caesar . We had several people ahead of us . We waited and meet Caesar and decided to adopt him . Everyone was so friendly and helpful. I appreciate them staying after closing hours to complete the adoption process. I was mostly impressed how each staff member congratulated Caesar on finding a family . They have such bigs hearts and put so much into taking of these animals. Thank you so much read more

Went here to get the $30 vacancies for my cat. There was a long line at 1030am (They open the line at 9am) and it was just really unorganized. I honestly wasn't even sure at first if I was in the right place. But I eventually figured out I was in the right line. Staff were friendly and treated my cat nicely. Got the shots and was on my way. I would reccomend getting there earlier than 9am so you're not in line for an hour like I was. read more

Everything Katie has said in her review is true. I currently volunteer at the shelter and have yet to come across an unkind, rude employee or volunteer. Every person I have worked with, from the veterinarians to volunteers at the shelter have been wonderful to me and the animals. I will also stress: the PSPCA is a NO KILL shelter. The staff also goes through great lengths to make sure every animal is kept healthy and safe. I cannot stress how much the staff and volunteers care for every animal that enters the shelter, homeless or not. I am sure that the previous reviewers are truthful in their reviews, but do not write off the PSPCA just because of it. read more
