What is the SPCA of Wake County?
The Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) of Wake County, founded in 1967, is a non-profit animal welfare organization dedicated to creating a more humane community where every adoptable animal has a home. The SPCA is an autonomous organization and is not affiliated with or supported by any other SPCAs including the ASPCA. The SPCA is not a government-run organization but does have a high-volume transfer program with the Wake County Animal Center whereby we transfer animals from their municipal shelter to our own facilities to be placed for adoption.
