Humane Pennsylvania has acquired a new building adjacent to the Humane Society of Berks County in Reading, it announced Tuesday. The facility will act as the group's headquarters as well as that of Humane Veterinary Hospitals Reading.

The extra space will be used to expand medical services that will allow the group to seek accreditation by the American Animal Hospital Association, the accrediting body for small animal hospitals in North America.

It will also allow the Humane Society to dedicate it's space to shelter services, administrative offices, storage, and off-street parking, according to Humane Pennsylvania.

"We're creating a life-saving campus," said Karel Minor, Humane Pennsylvania President and CEO.
