The mission of the St. Lawrence Valley SPCA is to provide quality care for unwanted animals, alleviate pain and suffering, promote quality adoptions, advocate spay/neuter as the only humane method of pet population control and to educate the public on humane treatment of all animals.
Established in Ogdensburg in 1901, the St. Lawrence *County SPCA was incorporated in 1910 with a legal agreement to protect animals, enforce anticruelty laws and maintain its primary office in Ogdensburg. We are a nonprofit agency. This means the board of directors is comprised of volunteers who receive no compensation. It also means that animals can not be sold. We provide a Pet Taxi service, to and from the Vet's, for the pets of senior citizens and the disabled within the City of Ogdensburg.
* On January 1 2005, the name was changed to St. Lawrence Valley SPCA. The organization is registered with the NYS Charities Bureau as a non profit and has no affiliation with any governmental agency. We hope that the change in name will clarify any misconceptions.
The beginnings of this web site were conceived and initiated by our late friend and colleague Andy Shattuck in late 1999 and 2000. In May of 2000, Tom Rivet continued Andy's work and the site was finally able to reach a point where it was presented to the surfing public.
We hope you will return often and watch us grow!
Nothing can beat the truly unconditional love of a pet for its owner when the pets’ owner shows the pet unconditional love. Author - webmaster
