SPCA Florida

Founded in 1979, SPCA Florida is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization headquartered in Lakeland, FL. Dedicated to improving the lives of pets and people in the community, SPCA Florida provides caring, compassion and hope to more than 4,000 homeless animals entering our doors each year. SPCA Florida transitioned to a No-Kill Shelter approximately 6-7 years ago. Open to the public, our McClurg Animal Medical Center is a state-of-the-art veterinary facility that heals and helps 50,000 patients annually. Thousands more pets and people are served through our community outreach and education programs.

SPCA Florida has agreed to lower Polk County Animal Control's euthanasia rate by 2025 through Best Friends Animal Society's Initiative. Our focus is to transfer animals from Polk County Animal Control to SPCA Florida and then transport to locations that have space to receive. Our focus this year is to start with transferring out kittens and bully breeds, as that is the highest euthanasia rate at PCAC.
