SPCA Tampa Bay is the only non-profit, For-All animal shelter and public veterinary center in Pinellas County. Our shelter in Largo cares for more than 7,000 animals annually that have been surrendered by their owners, along with injured wildlife. We are the best organization to adopt a dog in Tampa Bay... and adopt a cat or critter too. SPCA Tampa Bay cares for dogs, cats, pocket pets, exotic animals, and livestock like goats and pigs. Animals receive immunizations, medical care, enrichment, and loving care while they live at our shelter. Our adoptions volunteers work to match families with animals that are a good fit with the family’s home, lifestyle and personalities. There is no time limit for an animal’s stay at our shelter, and every animal receives compassionate care, regardless of its breed or size. Our Vision: Create a community where every animal matters. Our Mission: Through passionate collaboration with our community, we transform the lives of animals. SPCA Tampa Bay is an independent 501(c)(3) nonprofit locally governed by a volunteer board of directors. Like most U.S. animal shelters, we rely entirely on our program revenue and fundraising to sustain our operations, provide care for animals and serve the community. Despite a similar name, we are not affiliated with the American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) or Humane Society of the U.S.
