LOST & FOUND SERVICES
We strive to reunite many worried owners with their lost or missing pets. We encourage pet owners to immediately contact us when they lose their pet. We hope that you never have to use the information below. If you do, we hope that your pet is safely returned to you. Please protect your pet by having them wear PERSONAL INDENTIFICATION TAGS with your name, address and telephone number. The York County SPCA microchips all adopted dogs and cats and provides them with a free SPCA identification tag. We also offer periodic microchipping clinics for the general public at a cost of $20 per chip. If you are interested in having your pet microchipped, please contact the York SPCA for information on upcoming clinics. In addition, free SPCA identification tags are available to the general public anytime during normal business hours.
