Pennsylvania SPCA’s Pittiefest returns for a second year, offering $5 adoption fees on all pitties across the PSPCA’s locations from August 1 - August 15, 2025
Event to help pitties find homes and educate the public about the misunderstood pups
Philadelphia, PA (July 30, 2025) – Summer is here and that means the return of the Pennsylvania SPCA’s Pittiefest - a celebration of pitties with special $5 adoption fees, set to kick off this Friday, August 1, 2025.
For the second consecutive year, Pittiefest will be generously supported by The John & Christine Tortorella Family Foundation.
Designed after a certain favorite convenience store’s annual celebration of hoagies, Pittiefest comes during the slow summer adoption period. The event, which saw nearly 50 pitties find homes last year will run through Friday, August 15, across all four Pennsylvania SPCA locations: Philadelphia Headquarters, Danville, Lancaster, and the Main Line Animal Rescue Site.
During Pittiefest the PSPCA will make it a priority to celebrate pitties and share important facts and common misconceptions about them. For instance, pitbull is not a breed, but rather a generic term used to describe dogs with similar traits and characteristics.
Adopters are invited to visit the four sites during open hours to view and meet adoptable dogs. While pitties come in different sizes, including shorti and classic, all pitties for this promotion will have $5 adoption fees.
All standard adoption policies and procedures will be in effect during Pittiefest.
