We are a shelter of hope. We care for companion animals in need and aim to find a loving home for every adoptable animal in Tompkins County. We foster, through education, community action, and example, an enriching, positive relationship between people and their pets. We are leading the way, through innovation and focus, in recognizing the benefits that companion animals bring, and by acting on our shared responsibility to them.

Our primary goal is a loving home for every adoptable animal.

The TC SPCA accepts and cares for owner surrendered animals and provides an adoption program to re-home  stray and abandoned pets. The TC SPCA is not supported by any national organization or department of government.

As the Animal Control Authority, we are charged with the enforcement of New York State's mandated laws pertaining to domestic animals, including the investigation and prosecution of animal cruelty cases.
