Description Established in 1935, the SPCA Albrecht Center for Animal Welfare is a private, non-profit organization operating under IRS Section 501c3. We have been placing thousands of needy animals into loving forever homes for over 80 years. We depend upon local donations to support our efforts to save the lives of homeless dogs and cats in our community and receive no regular funding from state or federal agencies, or from the ASPCA (a completely separate entity). Our mission is to improve the lives of companion animals by rehoming abused, abandoned, and neglected pets while fighting for their well-being through vigorous legislative efforts, humane education, and by offering affordable veterinary care for all.

Very nice clean place with friendly people doing an important job. We have not adopted from there, but we go there a couple times a year to donate food and $. ... We stopped there again today to make some donations to help the cats and dogs. I added a few pics today to my past review. Thanks to all the wonderful employees and volunteers for what you do! 🐕😻

10/10 shelter for finding your forever fury friend. I work here so it may be biased but I've been here for years and we give our animals alot of love and care. Our goal is to help any animal that comes in. This shelter and clinic have saved so many lives. It's truly a wonderful place. ~♡

I’m a volunteer here and I adopted my little girl, Solstice, from here. These people are the kindest, hardest workers you’ll ever meet. I met my soulmate cat here, who they gave the best care possible when she needed a surgery. Now she’s my happy, cuddly, playful bundle of joy. Thank you SPCA!

I was looking for a kitten. Ias surprised to the lovely atmosphere. It is a very clean place and there are a lot of animals to adopt. I ended up taking two and they were very helpful. Every question I had they answered and offered advice too. I can tell the animals are being well taken care off. It is overall a nice place to be.

The professionals at the SPCA Vet Care Center took great care of my cat while she was getting spayed. They had easy-to-find patient forms online that I was able to print and fill out ahead of time. My only complaint is I had an appointment for 8 am drop off. Apparently, the way they do it, everyone is scheduled for 8 am. I was the 2nd to arrive in the parking lot at 7:40. I didn't receive instructions other than it was curb side drop off. I actually thought I would pull up through a car line and the staff would come up to my car to pick up my paperwork and my cat. When I realized everyone else was getting out and walking to the front of the building, I got out as well. There were about 10 other pets and their owners there at the same time we were. When the very friendly receptionist came out she asked who was there 1st, other people started saying they were. I guess they meant they were the 1st to get in line. I felt the process was a bit unorganized. I feel like more detailed instructions given to first time visitors would be helpful and could alleviate unnecessary anxiety since a lot of pet parents are already anxious due to their pet's surgery. I did receive a pre-op phone call but it contained no information about the drop-off procedure. The only information I received concerning the drop-off procedure was it would take about 30 minutes. Which it did. Overall we had a good experience and the lady that brought my cat out after surgery was friendly. As a side note to other pet owners, I understand you love your dog and you know it would never hurt anyone, but some people, such as myself, are afraid of dogs. Not just big dogs, all dogs. It would be sincerely appreciated if you don't let your dog approach strangers. I mean this with all sincerity and with no ill intent. I had the added anxiety of being sniffed by a pit bull while her owner talked to another pet owner. The dog did nothing more than sniff my leg (for what felt like a long time), but it made me uncomfortable given my fear of dogs. I had to ask the owner to pull her away from me.

I’ve had a good experience with the vet side of the SPCA. The adoption side-I adopted one kitten from there 3 weeks ago and when my boyfriend and I have time we go there to interact with the cats to eventually adopt another. The staff there are very unwelcoming and unfriendly to me and my boyfriend each time we visit. They barely acknowledge our presence but will interact with other customers as soon as they walk in behind us. Just my experience, not a good one at the adoption center.
