What is the mission of SPCA?
Our mission is to maintain a high profile within the community through visibility and interaction. We strive to do so by deploying competent personnel who project enthusiasm and commitment, supported by education and community outreach programmes. The Tshwane SPCA endeavours to offer residents services that are professional, efficient and accessible.
Where does donated money go?

What should I do if I see a stray animal?
This scneario currently falls under the Municipal by-laws, but there is no contract in place for SPCA to collect stray animals. We appeal to the public if they could please collect & bring the stray animal in to the SPCA – there is someone available to receive animals 24/7.
My pet has gone missing, what should I do?
- Don’t just phone the animal shelters, they are all over stretched and under staffed. Go there in person.

- Upload your missing pet’s information on Pets Lost & Found social media pages in your area.
- Check all vets in the nearby area
- Make missing posters and place in your neighbourhood, local schools & shopping malls.
- Remember to keep collars on all your pets, with your contact details on at all times.
- Get them microchipped if you can.
- MOST IMPORTANTLY: Remember to update all the places where you searched, once your pet has been found.
