spcaLA

spcaLA is dedicated to the prevention of cruelty to animals through Education, Law Enforcement, Intervention & Advocacy. spcaLA is an 501(c)(3) nonprofit animal welfare organization serving Southern California since 1877. Donations run programs and services including Cruelty Investigation, Disaster Animal Response Team, Violence Prevention Humane Education, and a variety of shelter services. spcaLA is independently chartered and not affiliated with any other SPCA or humane society. spcaLA is not a branch or a chapter. There is no national SPCA, parent organization, or umbrella group that provides financial support. While they may have similar missions, all SPCA and humane societies are independent organizations. spcaLA does not receive funding from any federal, state or local government agency. Financial support for spcaLA programs and services is provided solely by donations from individuals, corporations, and foundations. spcaLA believes that animals, as living creatures, have value beyond economic measurement, and are entitled to legal, moral and ethical consideration and protection.
