The San Francisco SPCA

A Legacy of Compassion, A Future of Innovation

Since 1868, the San Francisco Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SF SPCA) has been at the forefront of animal welfare in the Bay Area and beyond. Guided by our mission to ensure every companion animal has access to quality medical care, compassionate shelter, and a loving home, we've transformed how pet guardians and their furry friends access lifesaving care.

Our vision for the future is a world where the love people share with animals uplifts humanity to a state of greater compassion. This means:

• Ensuring access to affordable and accessible veterinary care for underserved communities.
• Expanding our reach to underserved regions across California.
• Finding loving forever homes for animals in need through innovative adoption programs.
• Increasing public awareness about animal welfare and inspiring compassion through outreach and education.
