Hell Everyone! My name is Becky, I am the Shelter Manager at the Ruth Steinert Memorial SPCA in Pine Grove, PA 17963. We are a No Kill 501c3 Non Profit Animal Shelter. We take in dogs, cats, small animals,  and some farm animals. For those that we cannot take in, we provide resources to other places that may be able to help. 

Ruth Steinert Memorial SPCA was founded in 1941 by a very caring woman named Ruth Steinert. We have been continuing on with her mission for the past 83 years. 

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.

Hi,

So happy to see your shelter has a mission statement of not euthanizing animals because of time.

My question, how do you keep the shelter running? Is there government assistance or donations or a combination of resources?

Thank you,

Bernadette
