Snoopy Needs His Woodstock, Adopt Him Today

This spaniel mix, named Snoopy, is available for adoption at the Delco SPCA.

This spaniel mix, named Snoopy, can't wait to have a new best friend like Woodstock in his life again. He's a young adult but still has a little puppy in him and likes to play around. Snoopy knows his sit and stay commands but would be happy just getting pet all day. Snoopy is available at the Delco SPCA for $225. Because he's so young and cute and highly desirable, his adoption fee will offset an older animal's lower adoption fee. So really if you adopt Snoopy, you're saving another animal at the same time. UPDATE: Cats Squirt and Kitty Purry, recently featured on Patch, were both adopted. But Dog Georgette is still available. The SPCA exceeded its 2011 adoption goal and had 2,808 animals find forever homes last year. Thanks to all those …

43 Municipalities Sign Animal Control Contract; Project Moves Forward

As of Dec. 23, 43 of the 49 Delaware County municipalities have signed a contract with the Animal Control Board. The target date for opening the new facility is July 1.

With 43 Delaware County municipalities on board, plans will now move forward for the proposed animal control facility in Darby Township, with a target opening date of July 1, 2012, according to Animal Protection Board Chairman Tom Judge. The 43 municipalities, including Media and Edgmont, have signed a three-year, $250-per animal contract.
