​Our Mission

Ruth Steinert Memorial SPCA’s mission as a no-kill shelter is dedicated to protect the welfare of all domestic animals and promote the humane treatment & well-being of these animals by the following:

• Providing shelter and medical care for stray, abandoned, neglected, & unwanted animals in Schuylkill County Pennsylvania.

• Responding with personal commitment, humane sensitivity, & compassion to the needs of these animals.

• Actively promoting suitable adoptions of these animals.

• Encouraging the spay & neutering of dogs & cats to prevent further pet overpopulation.

The animals in our care are never euthanized merely because we lack space or because the animal’s stay with us has exceeded a predefined amount of time.
