Welcome to Bucks County SPCA!

Our Welcome program is a power-point program that focuses on life around our shelter. This program will offer a glimpse into the life of an animal at our shelter, from sign in to adoption, employees and volunteers hard at work, and other aspects of our jobs. It is a great way to introduce kids and adults to shelter life, and teach them that a shelter is not all that sad and scary.

Responsible Pet Ownership

Whether you own a pet already, or are looking to get one, this program will teach our students the basics of being a good pet owner. Being responsible not only covers the care of most pets, but what you need to do to keep your animal safe, as well as what you should consider before adopting a pet.

Let's Do The Math! How Much It Costs to Own a Pet

This program is designed to teach children,(and adults), the costs associated with pet ownership.  This math based program can be adjusted to all age groups and skill levels.  Let's Do The Math is a great companion lesson for Responsible Pet Ownership.

Safety Around Animals

Our Safety Around Animals program will teach students how to be safe around animals that they may be unfamiliar with. This lesson is one that can be learned by all age groups, and is taught with every program given. If one less person is bitten by an animal, this program will be a success!

Companion Animal Laws

Do you know that there are many laws concerning companion animals in Pennsylvania? This program will provide lessons on animal law history, Pennsylvania’s animal laws, and how you can affect change in those laws. Our humane education director has been involved in animal law enforcement for the past 7 years as an animal control officer and a humane society police officer.

Shelter Tour

The Bucks County SPCA offers tours of our shelter. During our tour, our group is given a lesson about our shelter and led through the various kennels as we explain how we care for the animals. There are outside areas that we do like to visit, weather permitting, so dress appropriately. Although the attendees will have a chance to see the animals that are residing in our shelter, interactions with the animals may be limited.  Click here for a Humane Education Shelter Tour Registration form..

On Site Presentations

We also offer presentations that can travel to your location for both large and small groups! Our Traveling Shelter Program includes animals, like Ruby, our Official Humane Education Dog, and a power-point presentation loaded with pictures and information. As with all of our programs, the Traveling Shelter Program is designed to fit the needs of the attendees.

There is no charge for our tours and presentations, however donations are always appreciated. Funds will assist the shelter in many facets in caring for the animals, as well as allowing us to continue our Humane Education Programs.

Tours of our shelter are not offered on Saturdays due to the amount of people that are visiting our shelter to adopt animals, but we do try our best to accommodate your needs.
