care unleashed

create a future where every animal gets the care, compassion, and chance they deserve.

 

The SPCA of Texas is launching a 39,000-square-foot expansion that will double our capacity and transform North Texas into a model for holistic animal welfare.

We will expand our animal care programs’ scope by upgrading the veterinary & recovery center, adding behavioral wellness spaces, growing our surgery program, and streamlining adoptions in a welcoming adoption center where families meet their new best friends.

We will expand human services by increasing access to affordable veterinary care, offering financial assistance, and partnering with other nonprofits to help families stay together with their pets.

We will prevent and prosecute cruelty by strengthening our Animal Cruelty Investigations Unit and adding a modern forensic lab to support evidence collection and protect future victims, breaking the cycle of violence against animals and people.
