CNYSPCA

For more than 130 years, the CNY SPCA has been part of this community.

Every day, our team works to reunite lost pets with their families, provide safe shelter for stray and abandoned animals, and help animals find new, loving homes. We are committed to protecting the health and safety of our community while providing compassionate care for animals in need.
Our mission is to provide humane care, public safety, and responsible animal services through sheltering, adoption, education, and enforcement of animal welfare laws.

What We Do

Animal Shelter & Care
We provide temporary shelter, food, medical attention, and daily care for stray, lost, and surrendered animals. Adoptions
We work hard to place healthy, adoptable animals into responsible homes. When you adopt, you’re not just gaining a pet—you’re saving a life.

Dog Control & Public Safety Our Dog Control Officers respond to calls involving roaming dogs, nuisance complaints, bite incidents, and other public safety concerns. We are here to help residents resolve issues safely and responsibly.


Animal Cruelty Investigations Our Animal Cruelty Department investigates reports of animal neglect and cruelty. We take these cases seriously and work closely with law enforcement and local partners to protect animals and hold offenders accountable.

Help Us Build Their Future:
Support the CNY SPCA Capital Campaign

At the CNY SPCA, every tail wag, soft purr, and second chance starts with compassionate care. But our current shelter is no longer enough to meet the growing needs of the animals we serve.

We’re launching a Capital Campaign to build a new, modern shelter—a space where every animal gets the safe, comfortable, and loving environment they deserve while they await their forever homes.
