Before there were cars in Los Angeles, there was spcaLA.
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.
A true Los Angeles original, spcaLA is not a chapter of any group or government agency. In fact, there is no national spca or humane society.
This year, your support allowed our elite Disaster Animal Response Team (DART) ™ to respond to Hurricane Harvey. You permitted spcaLA to aid in the largest cockfighting bust in U.S. history. You helped youth from at-risk communities rekindle their sense of empathy at our 100th Teaching Love & Compassion (TLC)™ graduation.
And, you helped spcaLA provide safe shelter, nourishing food, and veterinary care to thousands of shelter pets, like Elle (pictured).
A sweet puppy, Elle came to us with an injury so severe, her right eye had to be surgically removed. We don’t know who hurt Elle, but your support allowed us to help her recover and find a loving home.
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.
