Alberta Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (Alberta SPCA)

The Alberta Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (Alberta SPCA) is a registered charity operating in Alberta dedicated to the welfare of animals. The vision of the Alberta SPCA is that every animal in Alberta be treated humanely. Our mission is to protect, promote and enhance the well-being of animals in Alberta. To accomplish this, there must be acceptance that humans are responsible for the welfare of animals, and there must be an understanding of the physical and behavioural needs of animals.

The Alberta SPCA works closely with other agencies in animal welfare, agriculture, education and violence prevention as well as with producers in the beef, pork and poultry sectors to provide the best level of protection for animals. We enforce the Animal Protection Act (APA) and provide educational resources across the province, primarily in rural areas and small towns to address concerns related to domestic animals, livestock and pets.
