The MSPCA-Western New England Animal Care and Adoption Center on Union Street in Springfield is permanently closed.

The MSPCA sold its Springfield facility, which includes an animal hospital and adoption center, to Dakin Pioneer Valley Humane Society (DPVHS) for a discounted price of $1.2 million. The move will enable DPVHS to expand its successful animal adoption, spay/neuter, education and outreach programs from Hampshire and Franklin counties to Hampden county in upcoming months.
