Woof! Meow! One thing before you go…
Do you need to find a loving home for your pet?
Shelters are often inundated with pet surrenders, and do not want to provide a simple outlet that takes away the obligation of responsible pet ownership. Therefore, they would prefer that people try hard to find a solution before resorting to surrendering their pet to a shelter. If you must find a new home for a pet, please try posting to our adoption portal before placing the burden on the shelter. Direct adoptions work well and allow everyone to share in the accountability of their community!
OUR MISSION:
The Santa Cruz SPCA provides safe harbor for animals in need and promotes an active humane community through adoption, advocacy, and education.
Serving our community since 1938, we offer programs and resources focused on humane education, spay/neuter awareness and assistance, and adoption and rescue, as well as support for our human community. By keeping animals healthy, happy, and well-homed, we aim to reduce the number of pets that end up in shelters and enhance the quality of life for all.
In the world of animal welfare, no one shelter can do it all. We must work together for the greatest impact in the lives of animals and the humans that care for them. Thats why we believe in, and focus on, collaborative work with dozens of other shelters, rescues, and animal welfare agencies, to rescue and rehabilitate cats and dogs and find them loving homes.
Our staff includes a management team of well-qualified leaders and an extraordinary animal care and adoption staff. We are also proud to sustain the most dedicated group of volunteers any organization could hope for: people who work hard — every day — to care for and enrich the lives of all.
The Santa Cruz SPCA is an independent 501(c)(3) non-profit organization dedicated to the welfare of animals. Our organization, and the work we do, is supported by individual contributions. We do not receive funding from HSUS, ASPCA, nor local, state or federal government entities. Our organization is not affiliated with any other SPCA or Humane Society.
Every time you support the Santa Cruz SPCA—by adopting, donating, volunteering, participating in our programs, or simply spreading the word about the work we do— you support the thousands of dogs, cats, and people we serve.
