Guided by humane ethic the SPCA West pledges to protect animals against negligence abuse and exploitation; ensure their well-being; raise public awareness and help develop compassion for all living beings. It is our mission to provide effective means of prevention of animal cruelty and tirelessly seek to improve the treatment of animals through public education defending animal rights conducting inspections providing accommodation and health care services as well as promote and support improved animal related legislation through collaboration with allied agencies. The SPCA West has been opened to the public since February 2014 and was formed by people who wanted to provide a no-kill option for all animals regardless of type or breed. We have rescued all types of animals from raccoons to squirrels to cats and dogs amongst several others. As a charitable non-profit organization we utilize a network of volunteers as well as staff that share our vision and help us in our mission. 100% of all funds donated go toward our rescue efforts and the animals in our care. We have continued to grow with the help of our community our donors and our volunteers to whom we are extremely thankful for. The demand for our services is forever increasing. Their commitment against animal cruelty became contagious within the community. The SPCA West has since grown into a strong dedicated and loyal team working towards saving animals unable to save themselves and improving animal rights laws. The SPCA West works tirelessly to save shelter and rehabilitate all animals. By working together we can bring an end to animal cruelty and wrongful exploitation. To rescue the mistreated save the injured and love the abandoned. To bring awareness and a better understanding of where animals can be beneficial in our lives and bring about a time when there are no more homeless pets. To sterilize all pets in order to help prevent and reduce overpopulation. To educate the population about how to properly care for an animal and how to help improve the lives of animals in our society. To improve and implement animal rights legislation. To provide medical attention to all animals that come through our door. To help families find a pet that is compatible with their way of life. To execute rescues with precision and efficiency in order to reduce the stressful effects on the animals.
