Our Mission

Animal Adoption Center will provide temporary shelter and medical care for rescued cats and dogs for the purpose of finding them suitable and permanent new homes. AAC will educate the community regarding the importance of spay/neuter programs, and promote thoughtful and healthy relationships between pet owners and their animals, in part by providing our adopted cats and dogs with lifetime support.

Adam Lamb

Executive Director

Adam Lamb focuses his career on marrying open-access sheltering with no-kill standards. Lamb first came to Pennsylvania from Tampa, Florida where he worked at the SPCA Florida, Humane Society of Tampa Bay, and Hillsborough Animal Services. 


In 2014, Lamb was named executive director of the then-Chester County SPCA. His work led to the rebranding of the struggling County Shelter with a live release rate of 65%, as the Brandywine Valley SPCA and to the BVSPCA becoming the Commonwealth’s first open-admission no-kill shelter. His leadership as CEO of the BVSPCA has brought expansion and growth to the now largest animal welfare organization in Pennsylvania, operating and serving in Chester, Delaware, and Montgomery Counties. He has also led BVSPCA’s expansion into Delaware where, in 2018, the BVSPCA helped lead Delaware to become the first no-kill state in the nation.

 

Just this year, Lamb has led BVSPCA’s life-saving growth and no-kill expansion into Central PA with an affiliation agreement with the Humane Society of Harrisburg Area (HSHA). In less than a year, with his leadership, HSHA has improved operations, embraced new adoption practices, and increased life saving programs, leading to achieving no-kill save rates above 90%.

Board of Trustees

The board of trustees is a volunteer body responsible for stewardship of the shelter’s mission and finances. Officers are elected and serve one-year terms. The board hires the Executive Director, who is responsible for all shelter operations. Need to contact our board?
