Shelter/Rescue Spotlight

We at High Hopes have had the pleasure of working with this amazing organization during an adopt-a-thon back in January. During the event 36 dogs and cats found their forever homes. They are a fantastic organization and we just wanted to share a little bit more about them.

The SPCA of Texas is the leading animal welfare organization in North Texas. Founded in 1938, the non-profit operates two shelters, three spay/neuter and wellness clinics, two mobile spay/neuter and wellness vehicles, one mobile adoptions vehicle, and an emergency animal rescue center, all located in Dallas and Collin Counties, and maintains a team of animal cruelty investigators who respond to thousands of calls in North Texas counties.

Moreover, the SPCA of Texas serves as an active resource center for an array of services that bring people and animals together to enrich each other’s lives.

The SPCA of Texas is not affiliated with any other entity and does not receive general operating funds from the City of Dallas, State of Texas, federal government or any other national humane organization.

During these uncertain times, the need to rescue, heal and find homes for pets continues, as does serving the community’s most vulnerable pets and their people.

The SPCA of Texas is dedicated to providing every animal exceptional care and a loving home.

The SPCA of Texas is closed to the public until at least April 30th due to COVID-19, but they still need your help. Essential staff are at the shelters each day, working to provide the animals with the love and care they need. During this unprecedented time, the SPCA of Texas is doing everything in their power to attend to the needs of their pets, their staff and volunteers, and the community. Visit www.spca.org/covid19 for more information.

If you or a family member has been affected by COVID-19 and need assistance with your pet, the SPCA of Texas’ Pet Resource Center can help. The SPCA of Texas’ Pet Resource Center can provide assistance (primarily food and urgent medical assistance through our outside veterinary partners) to families that have been affected by illness and/or business closures due to the current novel Coronavirus (COVID-19) outbreak. Please visit www.spca.org/prc for more information on how the SPCA of Texas may provide food, medical, housing, or other assistance for your pet.

The SPCA of Texas continues to have hundreds of pets in their shelters who are under significant medical and/or behavioral treatment, and they will continue to rely on the organization to rehabilitate them and care for them. Please consider making a gift to support the SPCA of Texas and their life-saving efforts to help North Texas pets and people in need. Visit www.spca.org/give to make a donation now.
