We exist to fulfill our mission of eliminating animal suffering and to engage the entire community in the welfare and well-being of animals.
We accomplish this by advancing model programs to promote the adoption of healthy animals, prevent dog and cat overpopulation, provide veterinary medical services for animals in the community, and keep animals in homes through relinquishment intervention strategies. Our programs and services include:
Open to the public, our Medical Center is a state-of-the-art veterinary facility that heals and helps 28,000 patients annually. Thousands more pets and people are served through our community outreach and education programs.
SPCA Florida is a No-Kill organization and will only euthanize an animal when we cannot resolve suffering and pain or when an animal is a proven danger to the community. We are an independent non-profit organization and are not affiliated with or associated with any other organization with SPCA in its name.
