Helping Animals of Texas

The SPCA of Texas is the leading animal welfare agency in North Texas with two shelters and three spay/neuter clinics located in Dallas and McKinney, and serves as an active resource center providing an array of programs and services that bring people and animals together to enrich each others' lives. The acronym SPCA stands for Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals.

Mission Statement

The SPCA of Texas is dedicated to providing every animal exceptional care and a loving home.

We're Local, Independent and Supported by the North Texas Community

A comprehensive animal welfare agency, the SPCA of Texas is not affiliated with any other entity and does not receive general operating funds from the City of Dallas, State of Texas, federal government, or any other humane organization.

We are a 501(c)3 nonprofit organization (Tax ID #75-1216660), dedicated to the welfare of animals and people programs.

Every time you support the SPCA of Texas—whether by coming out to our wonderful events, through a donation, by volunteering your time or by simply spreading the word about the great work we do— you support the dogs and cats (and rabbits, horses, guinea pigs, goats and more) and people we serve. We’re the voice for the animals who cannot speak for themselves. And we humbly thank you for making our work possible.

SPCA of Texas Voices

"I'm absolutely in LOVE with Kitty (formerly Kaleigh). I know her name isn't original at all but I just started calling her that until I could think of a name and it just stuck - it's so her! I've attached two photos - she's seriously the most beautiful kitty in the world! She loves to steal tennis balls and bones from her dog sister - she thinks she's a dog! She enjoys going for walks and car rides, snuggling with mom, bird watching, drinking from the sink, playing with her pipe cleaners and getting into mom's makeup in the mornings. I couldn't 'imagine life without her. She's the absolute best!"
