We adopted 2 kittens from BVSPCA. They appear to have been well evaluated by a vet and well cared for by staff. The shelter seems a bit chaotic, particularly the front reception area, where I had to wait with a kitten in a crate while the only staff member in the room was too busy showing a visitor her personal pet photos. Like all shelters, I’m sure the staff is overwhelmed with the sheer number of animals in their care, are probably underfunded, and doing their best, but it doesn’t help when staff members treat customers who are looking to adopt as an interruption to their socializing.
I also think that they might have more success with adopting out more animals by slightly lowering their adoption fees. I realize there is a need to recoup some expenses, especially vet care and, $150 for a kitten is a bit high in this economy. It might be better to lower the initial adoption fee for animals already spayed or neutered and perhaps also for senior citizens.
I would also suggest a separate entrance/exit area for the volunteer dog walkers to help reduce the noise and chaos in the reception area, or different hours for adoption and dog walkers.

What makes my experience most enjoyable is the fact that Brandywine Valley SPCA and it's associates , are no kill shelters . I thank the staff for letting me adopt Gus on 7/30/26 . He's an old boy (8) with the heart of a puppy . He obviously lived most of his life on the end of a chain , outside , through all types of weather . He was probably on the end of that chain when he was brought to Georgetown SPCA in February . The cauliflower ears were a dead giveaway , due to all the biting insects a dog suffers from a life outdoors . I love him to death . He reminds me so much of my Gilligan , who suffered the same hardships until I adopted him from you guys back in 2013 . Gussy is a bit pocessive of me already . I have a 12 year old yellow lab , pit mix and a 1 year old cat and they already play together because of the love we share , and Gussy knows that love already . He loved the staff there , I could see that the moment I met them . My love to you all . THANK YOU SO MUCH Charles E Koons II

The facility was spotlessly clean, with no odor or even the smell of bleach in the cat areas. People were helpful. Loved the photographer lady … she was wonderful to chat with. I adopted 2 year old Rusty and 4 year old Mr Shelby. They are settling in and because they were adopted on the same day and had the same facility smell … they accepted one another immediately. Thank you!
