There is nothing like the companionship of a pet. Pets are great for many things like a running partner or a Netflix buddy, but at the end of the day it is their unconditional love that makes them a part of the family. We usually provide you with local resources for fashion or home décor, but this month we wanted to remind Fido that we didn’t forget about him.
To see what’s on all of the pets’ must-have lists this spring, we enlisted the help of six animals at the York County SPCA looking for their furever homes. And we’re hoping that maybe one of these pets, or another pet at a local shelter, will be a must-have for your family. Visit www.ycspca.org or call 717-764-6109 to learn more about these and other adoptable pets.

Meet Star
This very sweet girl is a four- to five-year old Rottweiler/Shepherd mix and she has already lived with children and other pets, making her a great family dog. Star was a pleasure to work with, and so obedient to her trainer’s commands.
