People Programs
The SPCA of Texas offers a variety of programs which enhance our human experience through interaction with animals.
Programs that educate children, assist people and pets in need, reunite lost pets with their families, counsel people whose pets have passed away and provide for pets that outlive their owners.
We're here to be an active resource center providing an array of programs and services that bring people and animals together to enrich each others' lives.
