For the pooches and purr-babies in the SPCA shelter of Adams County Pennsylvania, Christmas came early.
By Saturday two days before Christmas, every last one of them had found a new owner, leaving the kennels vacant on Christmas Day for the first time in 47 years of operations.
The team says that one cat arrived Saturday evening after they took the photo above.
“To state that we’re beyond thrilled is an understatement. The staff and volunteers have worked VERY hard to take care of the animals in our care and to make sure they got adopted to the right home!” the team wrote on Facebook.
“This year we have adopted out 598 animals and reunited 125 strays with their owners!”

But this triumph isn’t just good for the dogs and cats who got to spend Christmas with their new moms and dads, but for dogs and cats whom the Adams County SPCA will now take off the hands of overcrowded shelters and kennels in the area–increasing every paw’s chance of landing in a new home.
“We are pulling animals next week from other shelters around PA in the hopes that we can relieve some of their anxiety,” said Adams County SPCA in a post on Facebook. Right now, let’s enjoy our accomplishment. Merry Christmas!”
