The History of the SPCA
|
The SPCA of Tompkins County was incorporated in February 1902 in an effort to prosecute individual cases of cruelty. In 1904, the organization acquired sheltering facilities and took over as ‘pound master’ for some of the municipalities within the county. For much of its history, the SPCA has employed humane officers to investigate individual cases of cruelty, as well as providing impound, sheltering and adoption of unwanted dogs, cats, and other animals.
In 1999, the SPCA Board of Directors resolved to become a "no-kill" shelter, a vision fully realized by the end of 2001. In the spring of 2004, the SPCA opened the Dorothy and Roy Park Pet Adoption Center, a sheltering facility that provides dogs, cats and other companion animals with comfortable, healthy, home-like settings. Registered as the nation's first "green" animal shelter (U.S. Green Building Council) for its environmentally minded, sustainable design, the facility is "good for people, good for animals, and good for the planet."
The SPCA of Tompkins County is a registered 501(c)(3) not-for-profit organization governed by a board of directors. Our tax id number is 15-0624378.

Abby Sue's 1st Anniversary Party
"This picture showcases the love Abby Sue has for her new stuffed animal, the first present she was given on her special day. She actually picked it out on her own as we were perusing the aisles, so we just knew we had to get it for her. We've already spent countless hours playing with her giraffe, she sleeps with it near, and she has even tried to take it with her on walks.
She also received a new pressed raw hide bone, which she absolutely loved.
And then to top it all off, she visited the groomers for a nice bath and brush out.
Just today, Abby visited the vet where we were told she is in great shape. . . .the ribs that were present a year ago are all covered by muscle. Our long walks have helped to keep her a happy and healthy doggy.
Thank you all so much for everything you do, because without the SPCA of Tompkins County, we would not have our beautiful Abby Sue!"
