Just in time for Christmas, Adams county SPCA adopts out 598 animals and reunites 125 with their owners

An animal shelter in Pennsylvania reached a milestone this Christmas season, celebrating one of the rare moments where less is more.

The Adams county SPCA, which houses dogs, cats and other homeless, abandoned or lost animals, was empty for the first time in 47 years, according to a Facebook post from the shelter, reported by CNN.

“To say that we are beyond excited is an understatement! The staff and volunteers have worked VERY hard to take care of the animals in our care and to make sure they got adopted to the right home!” reads the post.

The shelter said 598 animals had been adopted, while 125 strays had been reunited with their owners. For pet lovers looking to add a member to their family units, Adams county SPCA staff members will be picking up animals from other shelters in Pennsylvania next week.

    By the power of distribution issues by not ordering more dogs from Texas… We have… Feel good headline!

    Seriously. At least 3/4 of the dogs at every shelter I’ve been to in the Midwest have been from Texas shipments. At least you occasionally get stuff that isnt a Pitt mix that way.
