Foster Care Program

Foster program for underage and special needs animals

Have you always wanted a pet, but are worried about the commitment or financial burden? If so, consider becoming a foster parent to an animal in need at the MCSPCA! Not only are you saving the life of that animal, but you are helping to create space for another animal in need. Foster candidates typically include kittens and puppies that are too young for adoption, as well as animals with special medical needs that require additional TLC.

How to lend a paw

Animal Protection Services

Animal Cruelty Investigations

MCSPCA HSPOs thoroughly investigate complaints of animal cruelty and/or neglect within Montgomery County, Pennsylvania and ensure animals are being cared for in accordance with PA law. Our agency's HSPOs may issue written warnings and order a change in care, issue citations, and in extreme cases, may seize animals and file applicable charges against the offender(s).

Animals that are seized during animal cruelty investigations find safe haven at the MCSPCA and are provided with love, kindness, and necessary medical care from the moment they arrive. These animals may spend days or even months in the care of the MCSPCA while an outcome is awaited through the court system. This process is tedious and expensive and the MCSPCA relies on the support of our communities to continue this lifesaving work.
