The Johannesburg SPCA believes that animals, as living creatures, have value beyond economic measurement, and are entitled to legal, moral and ethical consideration and protection. Its mission is to act as an advocate on behalf of animals and to obtain rights for them and to protect and enforce these rights; to provide for the well-being of the animals in their area who are abandoned, injured, subjected to unfair or cruel treatment or otherwise in need; to cultivate in the people of their community, an awareness of the animals whose world we share and to instil respect for and appreciation of all living things; and to assist indigent, elderly and underprivileged people of the community by providing subsidised health services and support for their pets.
