Why is the SPCA of Texas a Reservation Required shelter?
By mandate of the SPCA of Texas’ board of directors, the SPCA of Texas does not euthanize animals for lack of space. Due to limited resources, the SPCA of Texas is not able to take in unlimited animals, is a Reservation Required shelter and requires payment of a set surrender fee at the time of relinquishment. The SPCA of Texas does not take in stray animals for surrender in an effort to increase the likelihood of a stray being reunited with their owner. Instead, people finding a stray animal will be directed to the animal control agency closest to where the animal was found. The SPCA of Texas is asking the community to be a partner in the process of finding new homes for animals.
