Peaceable Kingdom is a no-kill shelter. We do not euthanize animals except in cases of unacceptable aggression or incurable illness. Our mission is:
To provide care, protection, and assistance to animals who are mistreated, injured, abandoned, or otherwise in need.
To minimize animal overpopulation through low-cost spay/neuter clinics.
To create community awareness and gain support of animal needs through educational efforts.
Create an alert, and we'll notify you every time a new pet comes in who meets your criteria.

We are located in Whitehall, Pa. We adopt out to surrounding cities of the Lehigh Valley, as well as other parts of Pennsylvania. We also do out of state adoptions, typically states that are close by, as long as the adopter is willing to drive to the shelter for the adoption process.
