This time last year, we were heading into our final days with our beloved Lola as she battled liver disease and heart failure. Just 6 months later, our Luigi also left us after complications with a collapsing trachea. Our friends at the Brandywine Valley SPCA were so supportive and helped us heal our broken hearts by bringing little Paolo into our lives.

Since 1929 the Brandywine Valley SPCA has been supporting and protecting the animals of Chester Country and over the past several years have expanded their reach across Pennsylvania and into Delaware and across the country. In addition to sheltering and adopting pets to the community, the BVSPCA provides many other life-saving services to the community:

• Animal Protective Services for cases of abuse and neglect
• Lost and found support for missing pets
• Low-cost and emergency veterinary care
• Community resources for families and pets in need, such as a pet food pantry, disaster preparedness, animal behavior guidance, and help for victims of domestic violence who want to safely leave their homes without putting their beloved pets at risk

Help me raise money for this impressive organization so that animals throughout our community can have the love and saftey that our BVSPCA alumni, Paolo and Peanut, have with us.
