The store will be open during regular mall hours from Thursday, November 23rd to Monday, December 24th. The store is also open throughout the year for special monthly adoption weekends on the third weekend of every month.
Thank you to our community partners at the Lycoming Mall for allowing our SPCA to have a storefront through the holidays!
