New COVID-19 Adoption Procedures: The first step is to fill out an application on our website. Petfinder inquiries are not considered an application. * Please fill out an application if you find an animal you are interested in adopting * ** ALL ANIMALS LISTED ARE CURRENTLY AVAILABLE ** ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The Santa Cruz SPCA is an independent 501(c)3 non-profit organization dedicated to the welfare of animals. Our organization, and the work that we do, is supported by individual contributions. We do not receive funding from HSUS, ASPCA, nor local, state or federal government entities. Our organization is not affiliated with any other SPCA or Humane Society. The Santa Cruz SPCA collaborates with other shelters and animal groups (municipal and private) to help rescue and rehabilitate cats and dogs, and find them loving homes. Our variety of programs are geared towards providing humane education and spay neuter awareness to the public as well as assisting with resources to help animals stay in their homes. Our staff includes a management team of well-qualified leaders and an extraordinary animal care and adoption staff–as well as the most dedicated bunch of volunteers we could ever hope for!
