You give hope. You give healing. You give second chances.
It is North Texas Giving day and for a limited time, every gift you make will help unlock our $350,000 Challenge Gift, doubling your impact for animals across North Texas.
Because of YOU, animals in crisis receive the care they need to survive and the love they need to thrive. Your support makes it possible for the SPCA of Texas, a leading North Texas animal welfare and animal protection organization, to provide animal sheltering and adoption services, pet wellness and low-cost veterinary care, animal cruelty investigations, animal rescue, and community support programs for vulnerable animals and the people who love them.
Every day, your generosity helps dogs, cats, puppies, kittens, and other companion animals find safety, comfort, expert medical care, and loving homes. From rescuing pets from dangerous situations and investigating animal cruelty cases to providing affordable spay/neuter surgeries, vaccinations, and resources that keep pets with their families, your gift turns fear into hope and uncertainty into second chances.
Last year, compassionate supporters like YOU helped raise more than $750,000 for animals in need. This year, we're reaching even higher, and with your help, we can make an even bigger impact.
Because of YOU, animals go from hurting and hopeless to finding their happily ever after every single day. 🐶 🐱
The need is urgent, and your gift today can go twice as far by helping us unlock every dollar of our $350,000 Challenge Gift.
The animals need you! You can give animals the second chance they deserve. 🐾

At the SPCA of Texas, we work to create a brighter future for animals, people, and the community. We believe that everyone—and every animal—deserves to feel valued, respected, and supported. Our values guide how we show up for one another, for our neighbors, and for the animals who depend on us.
Here’s what that looks like in action:
Respect - We uphold respect by treating everyone—whether team member, volunteer, or animal—with dignity and care, ensuring everyone feels valued and appreciated.
Compassion - Compassion drives us to act with empathy and kindness in all situations, making a lasting difference for the animals and the communities we serve.
Teamwork - Teamwork is the foundation of our success as we collaborate to achieve shared goals and create positive outcomes for animals and people alike.
Communication - Effective communication is key to our success, fostering transparency and trust while keeping everyone aligned and informed.
Belonging - We create a sense of belonging where everyone is welcomed, supported, and empowered to contribute to our mission.
Growth - We are committed to growth—both as an organization and as individuals—through continuous learning, innovation, and improvement in all we do.
Together, these values shape a community where animals and people can thrive, and where everyone has a place in building a brighter future.
