SPCA Florida is an independent 501(c)3 non-profit organization in Lakeland, Florida, founded in 1979. Dedicated to improving the lives of pets and people in the community, SPCA Florida provides care, compassion, and hope to several thousand homeless pets every year.

​

Open to the public, our Veterinary Clinic is a state-of-the-art veterinary facility that heals and helps 20,000 patients annually. Thousands more pets and people are served through our community outreach and education programs.

​

SPCA Florida is a No-Kill organization and will only euthanize an animal when we cannot resolve suffering and pain or when an animal is a proven danger to the community.

​

SPCA stands for Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. We are an independent non-profit organization and not affiliated or associated with any other organization with SPCA in its name.

Mission

​

SPCA Florida exists to eliminate animal suffering and to engage the entire community in the welfare and well-being of animals.

​

We accomplish this by advancing model programs to promote the adoption of healthy animals, prevent dog and cat overpopulation, provide veterinary medical services for animals in the community, and keep animals in homes through relinquishment intervention strategies.
