The SPCA of Texas is an independent nonprofit organization dedicated to serving the animals and people of North Texas that has served the North Texas community for over 85 years. Operating two shelters, a spay/neuter clinic, a mobile adoption vehicle, and an animal rescue center, the organization is headquartered in Dallas and Ellis Counties. A team of animal cruelty investigators rescues hundreds of animals annually from cruelty in North Texas. The SPCA of Texas also functions as a resource center, fostering connections between people and animals. Not affiliated with the ASPCA or any other humane society, it does not receive general funding from city, state, or county sources. Established by a Texas state charter on September 22, 1938, the SPCA of TX has a rich history, tracing its origins to the late 19th century. The Dallas Morning News reported in 1888 that the Dallas Humane Society, the SPCA of TX's forerunner, was the first humane society in Texas.
