spcaLA was founded in 1877 as the first voice for the voiceless in Los Angeles. Today, we continue to prevent cruelty to animals through Education, Law Enforcement, Intervention, and Advocacy.

spcaLA is not a chapter of any group or government agency. In fact, there is no national spca or humane society. Donations fund animal cruelty investigations, disaster response, violence-prevention programs, pet adoptions, and a host of shelter services.

How you can help:

spcaLA relies on donations to fulfill our mission. Your gift will help provide:

• safe shelter, nourishing food, veterinary care, and TLC to shelter pets;

• forensic analysis, veterinary services, and equipment for animal cruelty investigations;

• a chance to stop the cycle of violence in youth from at-risk communities;

• supplies, vehicles, and training for our Disaster Animal Response Team (DART) ™.

While the future is never certain, one thing is clear – spcaLA will always need you. Because, all animals – from dogs and cats to peacocks and elephants – will always need us.

Please, give today.
