Program areas at SPCA of East Texas
The Spca of East Texas received and documented animal welfare and cruelty cases through the animal cruelty hotline. Currently, we must rely on local law enforcement to investigate our cases by referral. These cases represent only calls that resulted in an animal welfare case being opened and do not include hotline calls that were immediately referred to veterinarians, low-cost clinics, online resources, and other rescues, shelters or agencies for assistance. In 2023, the Spca of East Texas rescued 839 dogs/cats, and rehomed 759 of them. The adoption center is open tuesday thru saturday from 9:00am to 5:00pm.
The Spca of East Texas maintains an 8-acre community park for use by families and their pets. The park is open daily from dawn until dusk, and allows pet owners and their pets the opportunity to benefit from a safe, outdoor setting. The park offers both a small, and a large dog area, pet friendly water fountains, and bench seating for owners.
The Spca of East Texas operates a permanent, weekly low cost spay/neuter clinic to serve the community in the prevention of unwanted litters and the promotion of preventative wellness care for pets. In 2023, the snippet clinic served 15,660 animals including 5,536 spay/neuter surgeries for animals in our community.
