San Francisco SPCA

To ensure every companion animal has access to quality medical care, compassionate shelter, and a loving home.

Since 1868, the San Francisco SPCA has been helping animals.

Today, we continue transforming how pet guardians and their furry friends access lifesaving care through our world-class veterinary hospital, adoption center, and community medicine programs.

Our strategic plan, Vision 2030, builds on our groundbreaking work to provide access to care for animals in San Francisco, the Central Valley, and throughout the state of California. Our goal is to positively impact the lives of eight million animals by 2030.
