What is National Adoption Weekend?
Four times per year, PetSmart Charities works with Animal Welfare Organizations across North America to host pet adoption events within PetSmart stores. The Lycoming County SPCA is delighted to attend the weekends at our local PetSmart on the Golden Strip and showcase our lovable pets available for adoption.
When you attend, you’ll find dogs, puppies, cats, kittens and small pets from a variety of organizations, all in need of a lifelong, loving home. In addition, each pet is spayed and neutered prior to adoption, giving you added peace of mind as you search for your new best friend.
Thank you to our amazing volunteers for helping us bring pets to this event!

You will have the chance to shadow a volunteer with cats, dogs, or small animals (guinea pigs, etc) for an hour or more. This is a wonderful opportunity to see how awesome it is to volunteer your time and a great way to meet fantastic volunteers and some amazing animals. For more information or to schedule time with one of our fantastic volunteers, please email Amy Thompson at athompson@lycomingspca.org.

Highlights include:

Light refreshments (cake and punch)
Foster information
Adoptable kittens (if available)
Basket raffle (donated by local businesses)
Kids’ games
Most importantly, help us support kittens in foster homes by making a donation from our Amazon wishlist or printable wishlist, or by giving any monetary donation.

Please pass the word on to friends, family, and coworkers. Hundreds of kittens needed care from the Lycoming County SPCA in 2018 and it takes a lot of effort, both in supplies and people, to help the little ones through their critical first few months. It is one way that we are committed to saving the lives of pets in Lycoming County.
