A day to remember Animal Control Officer Roy Marcum. Officer Roy Marcum was fatally shot responding to a "routine call". He left behind a wife, children, and many other family members, as well as Pitunia, shelter workers, and fellow Animal Control Officers across the nation. We are forever grateful for your service Officer Roy Marcum, and will always remember the ultimate sacrifice you payed doing your job of keeping animals and their people safe. Stay Safe out there today and everyday - you are each making a difference 🐾💓🐾
Animal control has historically responded to incidents without truly addressing the problem that caused the incident to happen. Through data analysis, creative problem-solving, and community partnerships, we can identify and solve some of the most common animal issues we face daily. In this session, you’ll learn how to gather and analyze the data required, identify stakeholders, and work together as a team to create innovative solutions to longstanding problems.![]()

Meet the Board of Directors: Daniel Achuff. Hello, My name is Daniel Achuff and I work for the Brandywine Valley SPCA in the Animal Protective Services Division. I am the Supervisor for Animal Protective Services and currently have 2 officers plus myself that cover 2 counties and 72 townships and boroughs. I have been in Animal Welfare for over 25 years now with 7 ½ of those years as a veterinary technician. I first started in animal welfare when I was about 7 years old, my mom and dad started and ran a sanctuary for abandoned and abused exotics ranging from tigers, cougars, lions, timber wolves, and many other exotic animals.
