Spca Westchester - Briarcliff Manor Pet Shelter

Spca Westchester

SPCA Westchester is one of the oldest humane societies in the United States. It was founded in 1883 by Ossining resident Mary Dusenberry after she observed horses being abused as they delivered heavy loads of coal. Together with caring friends, Mrs. Dusenberry obtained land on which to build the Society’s first home and established a fund to be used to prevent cruelty to animals. The SPCA is still located on the same spot, making it one of the oldest landholders in Briarcliff Manor. Originally affiliated with the ASPCA, the SPCA became an independent organization in the 1920’s and does NOT receive funding from the ASPCA or any national animal welfare organizations. Recognized as a “no-kill” rescue center, the SPCA is committed to finding homes for all adoptable animals regardless of space or length of stay. In 2021 we proudly opened the doors to our new, 27,000-square-foot Animal Rescue Center. Our former buildings hadn’t been updated since the 1950’s and were cracked and crumbling. Thanks to our generous supporters, who made this dream a reality, our modern home can now accommodate up to 250 animals. This will allow us to expand our rescue programs and services, making a huge impact on Westchester County animals and beyond! More than 4,000 orphaned animals and pets are supported every year through the SPCA’s many life-saving rescue and community outreach programs.
