Can SPCA help sick dogs?
We can assist with the sterilising of cats and dog, with the medical treatment of sick or injured animals and with the vaccination and deworming of cats and dogs (Please note – only animals that have already been sterilised will be vaccinated at the Boksburg SPCA).
Does the ASPCA actually help animals?
The ASPCA is the oldest animal welfare organization in the country and a leader in hands-on work protecting, rescuing, and caring for thousands of vulnerable animals nationwide.
Does Aspca support local shelters?
The ASPCA is not your local pet shelter. Despite its name the ASPCA is not affiliated with local SPCAs and gives little of its money to them. In 2013, the ASPCA only gave $4.9 million to support animal shelters, a mere 4% of its $129 million budget. However, many Americans confuse the ASPCA with their local SPCA.
Can I take my dog to the SPCA for treatment?
