Camp Papillon was founded 2006, in Monroe County, PA also commonly known as the Pocono Mountains by our community to help better serve the animals. We especially noticed an urgent call to help for bully breeds, as the resources for them in the area was very limited.

Camp Papillon operated as a foster based network for 9 years saving thousands with the support of our community. Camp Papillon has always been committed to both the emotional as well as the physical well-being of the pets until they are adopted into their family home. While the pets are in our care we provided all necessary medical care, food, toys and treats, shelter, rehabilitation, and as much training as possible. We still utilize the foster care home program with our special needs & hospice care animals.

In 2009 upon the Monroe County SPCA closing Camp Papillon assisted with fast acting members of the community and other local organizations with the emergency rescue of over 15 dogs & 3 cats that day or to risk being euthanized. After that day we worked with community leaders, Pennsylvania SPCA, businesses and the community to establish a new shelter group in the empty SPCA building that was left while still independently working towards our mission that was different from a normal shelter environment. Our dream is a shelter that can accommodate the long term care needs of some of our harder adoptable cases because we are a no-kill organization. In addition, we knew we needed more space to accommodate more animals then the existing 16 kennels and limited land space to expand. For that reason, Camp Papillon passed on moving forward to peruse operating at the former Monroe County SPCA building. The need was too great.
