Furever Home Adoption Center

Four people—Joyce Rupp, Penny Jordan, John and Connie Kondravy—were active at the Lancaster County Humane League in 1983 as board members or volunteers. They came to the conclusion that someone needed to offer a 24-hour service to assist the sick, injured, and trapped animals as they learned more about the need of the residents and animals of Lancaster County.

In January 1999, Operation Scarlet was granted non-profit status. All gifts to Operation Scarlet, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, are tax deductible. The group has saved more than 1,500 Shar-Pei dogs so far.

The Lancaster Center serves as a community hub and is committed to reuniting missing pets with their owners, finding new homes for adoptable pets, and offering low-cost services to the neighborhood.

Through its collaboration with Pets for Patriots, Lancaster Center for Animal Life-Saving promotes dog and cat adoptions to veterans.

In Columbia, Pennsylvania, the Columbia Animal Shelter is committed to saving and rehoming companion animals in need. We are dedicated to offering the neighborhood where we are headquartered high-quality medical treatment and adoption services.
