spcaLA’s 132nd Birthday
Since 1877, Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Los Angeles has served the Southern California community providing support and shelter to abused and neglected animals. spcaLA is one of the oldest corporations in the state of California and the 4th oldest animal welfare organization in the United States. November 13th marks spcaLA’s 132nd birthday!
Despite grand misconceptions, there is no national SPCA or parent organization that provides financial support to spcaLA. spcaLA is YOUR SPCA serving Southern California for 132 years.
During 2009, your donations to spcaLA helped fund:
- spcaLA’s Disaster Animal Response Team (DART) which was responsible for relocating or tending to 500 animals during this year’s Station Fire.
- spcaLA’s Humane Officers who protected more than 6,700 animals by responding to more than 1,180 animal cruelty complaints.
- spcaLA’s Humane Education department who educated 6,000 Los Angelenos --including at-risk youth, preventing countless acts of animal cruelty.
- spcaLA’s Specialty Spay/Neuter Center which spayed or neutered more than 800 dogs, cats and rabbits.
- spcaLA’s Pet Adoption Centers which adopted more than 3100 animals.
In lieu of a gala or party, spcaLA is simply asking for donations or in kind gifts to sustain the many programs and services that benefit the Los Angeles community.
spcaLA will continue to serve the people and animals in Southern California and spread the message to DONATE LOCALLY!
