The York County SPCA is addressing major community wide challenges that surprise most tour participants. The goal of the shelter tour is to expand participants understating of the impact the York County SPCA has in safeguarding public health and safety, and to ensure the whole family can remain united with their furry family member. Participants will learn about the history of animal services, how an animal shelter functions efficiently to save thousands of animal lives annually, why human services exist at an animal shelter, what does it mean to be a no-kill facility. Sneaker Level 2: Moderate amount of walking, museum/exhibit walking, accessible areas. Wear comfortable shoes. There will be 1 hour of classroom discussion and 1 hour of touring the shelter. The York County SPCA is located at: 3159 Susquehanna Trail North, York, Pennsylvania 17406.
