My story

Here's what the humans have to say about me:

Are you looking for a rewarding adoption experience? Nester is hearing impaired and was found as a stray. He is working now to learn basic obedience through the use of hand signals and is doing very well. We are using the hand signals recommended by the Acorn Project (https://www.acorn-project.org/ ) and we will give you a copy when Nester is adopted. You can also add signals for words that you use in your daily life for deaf dogs. Nester gets along with other dogs in play groups. He has had enough challenges in his life. Can you offer him safe and loving home? Nester is currently enjoying a break from the shelter in a foster home. If you would like to meet him, please contact ncameron@bvspca.org to set up an appointment.
*Nester qualifies for the Sponsored by Simba Program Pets for Veterans. No adoption fee for any dog or cat 1 year of age and up when adopted by any military veteran.

More about this shelter

Founded in 1929, the Brandywine Valley SPCA is the first open admission shelter in Pennsylvania to achieve No Kill status and serves as the only open admission shelter in both Chester and Delaware Counties. In 2015, the BVSPCA opened its first Animal Health Center in Malvern, Pennsylvania, making veterinary care more accessible to local residents. In 2016, the BVSPCA took on a five-year contract with the Delaware Office of Animal Welfare to provide state-wide animal services, and expanded its reach further into the tri-state area by opening both a second shelter and a second Animal Health Center in New Castle County, Delaware. Shortly after, a PetSmart Everyday Adoption Center was opened in Dover, Delaware. Its mission is to put the “human” back in humane animal treatment and to advocate on their behalf. Each year, the BVSPCA cares for more than 10,000 stray, owner-surrendered, wayward owned, and abused and neglected animals.
