American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty

The American Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (ASPCA) is a non-profit organization headquartered in New York City. Employing 1,179 people, the ASPCA is a leading voice for animal welfare in the United States. The ASPCA is dedicated to preventing cruelty to animals across the country through various initiatives. These include rescuing animals from crisis situations, aiding communities in animal care, and advocating for stronger animal protection laws. The organization operates a full-service animal hospital, a spay/neuter clinic, a rehabilitation center for traumatized dogs, and a kitten nursery and adoption facility in New York City. Nationally, the ASPCA provides disaster relief for animals, operates a subsidized spay/neuter clinic in Los Angeles, and offers a behavioral rehabilitation center for dogs. The ASPCA also runs a 24/7 animal poison control center for pet owners and veterinarians. The ASPCA distinguishes itself through its extensive network of programs and services, spanning both local and national levels. Their groundbreaking partnership with the New York Police Department has resulted in a significant increase in cruelty investigations and successful animal rescues. In 2015, the ASPCA further expanded its impact by acquiring Humane Alliance, a leading provider of high-volume spay/neuter training and education.
