Our Story

Since 1839 the Scottish SPCA has existed for one reason – to make Scotland a better place for animals to call home. We rescue, protect and lead the conversation on animal welfare.

Our impact

In every community, every single day, we rescue hundreds of Scotland’s animals when they need help. From rehabilitation to rehoming, or releasing back to the wild, we are here for animals 365 days of every year.

Our promise

We are here for animals now and long into the future. We respond to the changing ways animals need us. We are focused on reducing intentional and unintentional abuse, empowering communities across Scotland and the long-term sustainability of our charity.

Our board

As a registered Scottish Charity with the Scottish Charity Register (OSCR) we are governed by our Board of Charity Trustees, all of whom are appointed and co-opted by their fellow Board members.

Support us from £5 a month

It costs us £63,000 every day to continue the work that animals across Scotland depend on. Our work is only possible because of the generosity of people like you.
