Tulsa SPCA
Our mission is to improve the lives of dogs and cats, and their human companions.
Since 1913 we have been working with animal lovers like you to protect dogs and cats in our community. Together, we’ve saved animals from homelessness, illness, and abuse. We’ve provided these services while being completely funded by private donations like yours. We are not an affiliate of the ASPCA and do not receive an allocation of money from them each year, nor do we receive government assistance. So your support is critical in helping the Tulsa SPCA to continue providing these critical services to our community.

Our team operates with a strong commitment to teamwork, recognizing that collaboration and mutual respect are essential to achieving our goals.
We prioritize stewardship by making decisions that are not only compassionate, but also responsible and sustainable, ensuring we operate within our capacity for care and use resources effectively. This allows us to provide a high standard of care without compromising the well-being of animals or staff.

At the same time, we hold ourselves and our team accountable to making decisions that are in the best interest of Tulsa SPCA’s mission, ensuring we are creating meaningful, lasting impact rather than short-term solutions.
