BUCKS COUNTY, PA How has the COVID-19 pandemic impacted local animal shelters?
The Bucks County SPCA, which operates two animal shelters in Quakertown and Lahaska, is reporting fewer adoptions this year, which is largely due to the fact that the SPCA has rescued fewer animals this year, according to Communications Director Cindy Kelly.
In 2019, 545 animals were rescued by BCSPCA Humane Police Officers, Kelly said. In 2020, that number has dropped to 261 animals so far this year.
