My story

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

If you are looking for a rewarding adoption experience, Timber is your man. When he came to us as a stray, he was not in good condition. After eye surgery and other medical treatment, his life has been turned around and he can see for the first time in his life without pain. He is in foster care, receiving all the love and care he has not received until now. All Timber wants is to be loved as a cherished family pet. He is the sweetest dog and wants nothing more than to give and receive love. He’s house trained and crate trained. He sometimes chooses to hang out in his crate as it’s his safe place. When he’s out of his crate and free to roam all day, he does very well! He’s dog friendly but is very vocal during play and that sometimes scares his friends away. He knows sit, paw and lay down. He’s super food motivated and excited to learn more commands! He loves to play tug of war or fetch but also enjoys cuddling on the couch. He’s around young children and is amazing. He is yearning for a forever family to love. If you would like to make his dreams come true, please contact ncameron@bvspca.org to arrange an appointment to meet this dear boy.

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.
