Mission

Founded in 1937, the SPCA of Central Florida (SPCACF) serves our community through education and outreach, affordable medical services for companion animals, cruelty investigations, a safe and healthy shelter of homeless animals and through aggressive, strong adoption programs to ensure every companion animal lives in a safe, loving and secure home. Our mission is to promote responsible human behavior toward animals. At SPCACF we only take owned animals. They are surrendered by their owners for many reasons, including moving, allergies and no time. In FY 2008, the two shelters of SPCACF received more than 13,700 companion animals, or an average of 263 animals each week of the year, from community members who were unable or unwilling to continue to care for them.
