Adam Lamb

Chief Executive Officer, Brandywine Valley SPCA

Adam Lamb focuses his career on marrying open access sheltering with “No-Kill” standards. Adam Lamb came to the Brandywine SPCA from Tampa, Florida where he worked at the SPCA Florida, Humane Society of Tampa Bay and Hillsborough County Animal Services. In 2015, the BVSPCA became the first open admission “No-Kill” shelter in Pennsylvania. Adam took the county SPCA from a modest animal control shelter with a live release rate of 65% and an intake of 5,501, to what’s now the Brandywine Valley SPCA, serving the entire state of Delaware and two Pennsylvania counties with 14,652 animals in its care per year and a live release rate of 95%. In 2018, the BVSPCA led Delaware to becoming the first “No-Kill” state in the nation. Recognizing the importance of keeping owned pets in their homes, Adam has also launched programs for pet retention, such as pet food assistance, free shot clinics in disadvantaged neighborhoods, and humane education. Adam is the President of the Federated Humane Societies of Pennsylvania, serves on the Best Friends committee to Save Them All 2025 and the Petco Foundation Leadership Forum. Adam and his family, including his two year old son and two dogs, lives in Malvern, PA.
