Great place was super clean and didn't stink like most others. We went during the mega adoption and even with lines out the building it was super streamlined and efficient. The puppies we went for were already taken(gotta get there early) buuuut I spotted this Treeing Coonhound in the corner going unnoticed jumped on it. Everything was very easy and upfront, you want that dog, fill out the paper you got em. He's treed couple squirrels already, scent tracks great. But very calm indoors. Couldn't be happier. Enough about my dog tho great place great dogs all were friendly maybe one or two kids couldn

We had appointment to put our dog down today it was very peaceful they were so sweet and caring. We stayed with our SirLance until he went to sleep. It was heartbreaking to see. But we know his in a better place now. We will be picking him up on the 16th of dec. He was cremated. Lance loved the window in the sun

The staff at the West Chester campus were excellent at helping us find the right dog for our family. We spoke with a staff member at the front desk about five candidates. With her help, we narrowed our choice to one dog. The next day we came back with our two dogs and our whole family. Staff members were great at managing our dog meet and greet. We have big dogs and I was concerned about how it would go. They truly understand dog behavior and the meet went great. Mush is as wonderful as they said he would be. We highly recommend adopting from Brandywine Valley SPCA!

I had a wonderful cat adoption process with the SPCA from start to finish!! The Brandywine Valley location literally had a room full of almost 20 kittens that I could sit in and interact with until I found my little Mocha. She pretty much chose me! The adoption fee is well worth the everything that it includes. The staff was friendly and each one of them congratulated me on my adoption. I highly recommend them!!

We went to 3 different kennels trying to find a third dog to add to our family. Our current two dogs are pretty picky and the staff at Brandywine seemed the most interested in helping match us with a dog that met our specific needs. We finally found a match at Brandywine Valley! Our 72 lb, 2 yo baby is adjusting well.

Went to Mega Adoption yesterday. Very well organized event. Not overly crowded inside. Very clean facility. Extremely helpful and knowledgeable staff. Super easy adoption process. Thank you for loving all the fur babies until they adopt their Mommy and Daddy.

This a most spectacular SPCA taking in so many dogs mostly from all kinds of deplorable situations! They humanely take care of these precious animals until they are ready for adoption and truly try to match the animals to caring responsible families. Stop in see how busy they are and DO make a donation to them. They are doing really important work!

The manager of the business did not show any compassion to my landlady who is going through a difficult time and the fact that in the managers words she stated, "Tell me which dog do you want me to put out on the street so I can take yours?". Well, so much for trying to follow a process. All in all the manager isn't customer friendly and probably operates on a single brain cell because it's too hard to hold a proper customer oriented conversation. Those adverts on the outside are the complete opposite when you get in the building so be warned you'll be pissed and high blood

I am 67 years old and this is the first review I have ever written. My daughter who is learning disabled with autism went to the Dover SPCA to look for a dog after her dog of 10 years died suddenly. She went with her sister and was sold a sick dog with a heart worm which they should not have done. She was not capable of caring for the dog . I did not know the seriousness and my daughter said she was in love and wanted to keep the dog. I contacted the vet and was told that the treatment for the dog would take about 3 months, that was in June and then in September before the final treatment would
