IRS990/Desc0Better Days Animal League is a non-profit animal rescue and sanctuary located in Chambersburg, PA. We offer veterinary care, love and support, food and shelter to adoptable and unadoptable animals. We do not euthanize animals for space. Since our inception in 2007, BDAL has taken more than 5,400 animals into our care and found loving homes for almost all of them. BDAL receives no direct government assistance and relies on donations and sponsorships from individuals and businesses. We also hold fund raising activities throughout the year. BDAL operates a thrift store in Chambersburg to supplement the expenses of operating the rescue. The store also serves as an adoption center. We are dedicated to the principle that all life must be treated with value, dignity and respect. Our wish is that one day all companion animals will be in loving homes and not living in shelters.

IRS990/MissionDesc0Better Days Animal League is a non-profit animal organization with an adoption center in Chambersburg, PA. Each year, many cats and kittens come to our rescue in hopes of finding their "forever" homes. We are committed to providing abused, abandoned and neglected cats the love and care they so rightly deserve until the day they are adopted. BDAL continues to serve our community without paid administrative staff. Due to the overwhelming need for low cost spay/neuter services in our area, BDAL has focused on providing transportation to available TNR clinics and sponsoring clinics with our local veterinary offices. Our intent is to help reduce cat overpopulation in our community by preventing as many unwanted litters as possible.
