Mission Statement
SPCA Westchester is a no-kill, 501(c)3 not-for-profit animal welfare organization dedicated to saving homeless, abused and abandoned animals and to protecting animals from cruelty and neglect through education and enforcement of humane laws.
Description
SPCA Westchester is one of the oldest humane societies in the Unites States. It was founded in 1883 by Ossining resident Mary Dusenberry after she observed horses being abused as they delivered heavy loads of coal. Together with caring friends, Mrs. Dusenberry obtained land in Briarcliff Manor on which to build the Society’s first home and established a fund to be used to prevent cruelty to animals.
Originally affiliated with the ASPCA, the SPCA became an independent organization in the 1920’s and does NOT receive funding from any national animal welfare organizations. Instead, our humane society relies on animal shelter donations.
Today, the SPCA supports more than 5,500 animals a year and is recognized as the largest No-Kill Rescue Center in Westchester County. We are committed to finding homes for all adoptable animals regardless of space or length of stay.
In 2021 we proudly opened the doors to our new, 27,000-square-foot Animal Rescue Center. Our former buildings hadn’t been updated since the 1950’s and were cracked and crumbling. Our modern home accommodates more orphaned dogs and cats in need, making a huge impact on Westchester County animals and beyond!
