Mission Statement
As the fourth oldest humane society in the U.S. and the founders of the No-Kill movement, the SF SPCA has always been at the forefront of animal welfare. As a result of our efforts and those of our community partners, San Francisco has the lowest euthanasia rate of any major city in the United States. No adoptable dog or cat in San Francisco goes without a home, even if they have medical or other issues. We imagine a community where every animal has a loving home. Where animals don’t need the support of San Francisco’s rescues and shelters. And we know how to get there.
Description
Our Humane Education department focuses on creating programing that instills kindness, campassion, and respect for all living things. We want to end the cycle of pet homelessness and abandoment. In order to solve these animal welfare issues, a piece of that puzzle is humane focused education. We take interactive education and pump it full of fun, in order to teach youth how to be advocates for animals and the next generation of pet guardians. We take this mission into every lesson, activity, and program that we create.
