Making an Impact in DC: 7,000+ Animals Cared for in 2025

The year 2025 has been one of expansion for the Brandywine Valley SPCA as we opened our doors in Washington, D.C.. In the District alone, we cared for more than 7,000 homeless animals last year, and our medical teams performed more than 6,000 spay and neuter surgeries. We also opened the District’s brand new, state-of-the-art shelter and animal health center to better serve animals and pet families.
