The Oxford County Branch of the OSPCA is an animal shelter servicing Oxford and Elgin Counties.

 

We provide animal care and housing for stray, surrendered, seized, and abandoned cats and small animals.

 

The Ontario SPCA is unique amongst animal welfare organizations in Ontario: the Ontario SPCA Act mandates the Society to enforce animal cruelty laws and provides Society Branch and Affiliate investigators with police powers to do so. The Agents and Investigators at the Oxford County Branch cover Oxford and Elgin Counties.

 

We work purely on donations and receive no government funding. Without the support of volunteers and our community we would cease to exist. We desperately need continued support to continue our vital work and make progress for our community.

 

Our Mission

The Ontario SPCA's mission is to facilitate and provide for province-wide leadership on matters relating to the prevention of cruelty to animals and the promotion of animal welfare.

 

Our Vision

The Ontario SPCA is seen as the recognized authority on animal welfare issues and making a measurable difference for animals. The Ontario SPCA is an integral part of each community, promoting mutually beneficial human-animal interactions, and is viewed as a desirable organization for volunteerism and support.

 

The future for Ontario that the Ontario SPCA is working to help create:

 

* All Ontarians respect and appreciate animals

* Ontario has no homeless animals and no animal abuse

  

Our Goal

The Society's goal is to be a strong, unified and collaborative organization dedicated to the cultivation of a compassionate Ontario for all animals.

    

The Ontario SPCA believes that:

 

* The Ontario SPCA must act to prevent cruelty and to encourage consideration for all animals.

* No animal should suffer.

* All animals should have a good quality of life and should be treated with compassion.

* The Society must advocate for improved animal welfare and protection.

* Those who abuse or neglect animals should be appropriately penalized.

* All animal welfare organizations should work cooperatively for the benefit of animals.

* The Society should set high standards for animal care, protection and shelter.

* The Society must educate the public on animal welfare.

* Dedicated and committed volunteers and staff are essential to the success of the Society.

* All those who contribute to the success of the Society deserve recognition and appreciation.

* The Society should serve the whole province.
