To place a complaint, contact the SPCA —
Chester County SPCA
1212 Phoenixville Pike
West Chester, PA 19380
610-692-6113, extension 212
Leave a message if no one is available to take your call and an officer will get
back to you.
For action to be taken, the SPCA must speak with the person who witnessed the violation.
We cannot report the problem for you from the Township Office. One of the
officers will take your statement regarding dogs running at large or incessant barking.
They will need the dog owner’s name and address.
For the first offense, the SPCA will send a warning letter to the dog owner. In
addition to the warning, the letter asks the owner to call the SPCA to provide dog
licensing and rabies info and to establish a dialogue to gain the owner’s understanding
of the problem and their cooperation.
If a second complaint is received, they will issue a citation with a fine of up
to $300.00.
