An independent, not-for-profit organization, the SPCA of Westchester not only serves as the sole cruelty prevention and intervention agency for Westchester County, but is also the only organization providing the comprehensive services of a spay/neuter clinic, a shelter (with a capacity for over 100 dogs and 125 cats), adoption and community outreach programs. The SPCA is recognized as a “no-kill” shelter as it never euthanizes an animal except in cases of terminal illness, extreme aggression or the inability to maintain a reasonable quality of life in a shelter environment. Regardless of how long it may take, the SPCA is committed to caring for all adoptable animals until a loving, new home can be found.

Its location, just 35 miles north of New York City, attracts a wide range of people from Westchester, Bronx, Putnam, Dutchess and Rockland counties in New York and parts of Connecticut and New Jersey as well. Many people who cannot afford to pay full-scale prices for veterinary care come from great distances to take advantage of the low—cost fees for services offered by our Simpson Clinic. It makes sharing life with a pet a reality for many people on fixed incomes.
