PSPCA Offering Special Holiday Pet Adoption Deal

PHILADELPHIA — In celebration of the holidays, the Pennsylvania SPCA hosts adoption event to get animals home for the holidays.

Now through Dec. 31, any cat and dog that has lived at the PSCPA for more than 100 days can be adopted for just $31.

To help tell the stories of each animal, the PSPCA has started a letter to Santa campaign, featuring one letter a day from a shelter resident.

Lucy, who has been at the shelter for more than 950 days and is pictured above, wrote a letter to Santa:

Dear Santa,
My name is Lucy, or Queen Lucy. I’ve been living in the shelter for over 930 days! While I have many adoring subjects here, I am ready to rule over a smaller kingdom. For my forever kingdom I will require just a few things:
- Milkbones (they have to be REAL Milkbones, no substitutes!)
- Lavendar shampoo baths
- A bench outside or a couch inside, must be able to fit my royal behind and at least two human subjects
- A backyard with a place for me to lay out in the sun
- Adoring subjects to kiss my royal paw
My new kingdom should be inhabited by adults with or without older teens. I may tolerate a dog smaller than myself, but I must meet with them first! I’m not a fan of kitties or other small furry subjects. I am scared of some strangers, so I will need patient subjects to help me work through my fears.
Lastly, my subjects should be ready and willing to have me sit close, snuggle and kiss them. Thank you, Santa, I’m going to keep my royal paws crossed!
Love,
Lucy the Queen

The Pennsylvania SPCA is located at 350 East Erie Ave. in Philadelphia.
