We’re Scotland’s only all animal rescue service. We will make Scotland the best place for an animal to call home.

Core values

- **Addressing Societal Needs**: The Scottish SPCA addresses critical animal welfare issues, including intentional cruelty, unintentional neglect, and the impacts of the cost of living crisis and environmental changes on animal care[1][2][4].
- **Improving Quality of Life**: The organization provides essential services such as veterinary care, behavioural support, and rehoming, which significantly improve the quality of life for animals. It also supports pet owners through initiatives like Pet Aid, helping to keep pets and their owners together[1][2][4].
- **Promoting Positive Change**: The Scottish SPCA works to change laws and policies to better protect animals, and it engages in community education and support programs to raise awareness and improve animal welfare standards[1][3][4].
- **Contributing to Community Well-being**: The organization's work extends to supporting vulnerable children through programs like Animal Guardians, and it collaborates with various stakeholders, including food banks and the farming community, to ensure broader community well-being[1][3][4].
