The SPCA staff does their best to estimate the costs of running a clinic, but sometimes emergencies do arise. You can help provide life-saving medical treatments to animals in need by contributing to our Guardian Angel Fund. This fund has allowed for healthier and fuller lives for many orphaned animals in the past. It has even ensured a life for those that may have had a bleaker outcome. When you give, think of past recipients like Bradley or Henry. Bradley was a perky little chihuahua surrendered with a spinal injury rendering his rear legs useless. The funds allowed us to provide him with a set of wheels to keep him going. Henry was surrendered with a severe skin infection that the SPCA treated with the Guardian Angel funds. He is now happy and healthy! Donate now to play your part in these wonderful happy endings. To make a donation online click here.
 Memory Lane is located at the adoption center entryway. The walkway is laden with bricks serving as a permanent tribute built one brick at a time by those who wish to honor or remember a loved one or special pet, mark an important occasion, or simply demonstrate their own love of animals and show their support for the SPCA’s life-saving work. By purchasing a brick, you will make an enduring tribute that shows how much you care, in a location where it will be seen by thousands of people for years to come. Bricks are available for $125 or $250 depending on the size you request. To make a donation online Click here.

We have chosen Kuranda beds to use in our adoption center because they are of good quality, cost effective, and comfortable. Even though these beds are sturdy, they need to be replaced on a regular basis throughout the year due to chewing and general wear and tear. The SPCA is always in need of dog and cat beds! If you would like to donate a bed to provide comfort for our shelter pets, please click here. You can have a Kuranda bed sent directly to SPCA, Inc. in Lakeland!
