Animal Assisted Therapy Program

Through our Animal Assisted Therapy (AAT) Program, our volunteers take their own companion animal to visit various facilities such as: children's hospitals, retirement centers and AIDS hospices. The spcaLA AAT Program was started in 1986 with the goal of promoting the human-animal bond and enriching the physical and psychological well-being of people confined to hospitals and other institutions.

Foster Care Program

Our foster parents take care of bottle babies, kittens, puppies, adult cats or dogs and those with special needs. While fostering, all you need to provide is your time and love ; we will provide the food and veterinary care. It takes a special person to take an animal into his/her life, care for it and be able to pass him or her on when it is ready to be adopted into its permanent home.  This experience is one of the most gratifying services you can provide.  It's a hands-on way to make a difference and save a life !

AN ALTERNATIVE EXPERIENCE FOR CHILDREN:

We have found that our Humane Education Program provides a very enriching alternative experience for children. If your school, church or temple group, Girl or Boy Scout troop, or any other type of club or group is interested in attending a humane education presentation – or having our humane educators visit you, please contact  our Humane Education Department at humaneeducation@spcaLA.com for additional details and information.
