The Brandywine Valley SPCA
Growing up I always wanted a dog. We always had cats, but never a dog. From the time I was about 9 years old, I begged my parents for a dog everyday. When I was 10, I even wrote a self-assigned research paper on why Springer Spaniels were the perfect family pet. I knew my mom had a Springer Spaniel as a child and I was hoping to convince her that we should also (it didn't work). My parents resisted my pleas for a long time. In the meantime, they tried to placate me by taking me to the BVSPCA to be a "Junior Volunteer." I loved giving the dogs baths and filling kongs for them, but it wasn't the same as having my own dog.
The BVSPCA is an amazing organization. It is a no-kill, open admission shelter caring for over 10,000 animals a year. They even helped rescue dogs and cats from Houston and Puerto Rico after the recent hurricanes. When I am 16, I look forward to volunteering at the BVSPCA as well. Until then I want to use the money raised by Ziggy's Biscuits to help them care for all those cats and dogs.

Below you can see some pictures of me volunteering at the SPCA, as well as a photo of our cat Mack whom we adopted from the West Chester location in November of 2017.
