2. The SPCA of Texas has been
helping animals for over 75 years
and is the leading animal well-
being organization in North Texas.
We serve as an active resource
providing an array of programs and
services that bring people and
animals together to enrich each
others’ lives.
Who We Are
3. Our Jan Rees-Jones Center in Dallas is a
state of the art rescue center and wellness
clinic. With temperature controlled dog
pods and cat condos, animals have a safe
and comfortable place until they find their
forever families.
We have two wellness clinics in Dallas; one
connected to the Jan Rees-Jones Center,
and our Mary Spencer Spay/Neuter and
Wellness Clinic located in Village Fair. Our
clinics provide low cost spay/neuters,
vaccinations, heart worm preventative and
basic wellness care.
Our emergency relief animal center allows
us to have a triage location to care for
animals rescued from cruelty and neglect,
and to provide temporary shelter from
natural disasters like tornadoes and
flooding.

4. Our Russell H. Perry animal care center
in McKinney is on 33 beautiful acres.
Here we are able to rescue and adopt
horses and livestock as well as cats and
dogs. Oftentimes you’ll see horses,
donkeys, goats, chickens, pigs, sheep,
and ducks available for adoption.
We also have a low cost wellness clinic
at this location to provide the same
affordable spay/neuter surgeries,
vaccinations and preventative care.

Our Work
6. • In February of 2015, a pit bull mix was
rescued from extreme cruelty and
neglect. Phoenix was chained to a
broken porch without any shelter from
the rain or heat. He had no access to
food or water and upon closer
inspection, had acid burns down his
back. His owner was arrested and
charged with animal cruelty.
• In spite of the abuse Phoenix was a
sweet dog. After three months of
rehabilitation, he was available for
adoption. On June 3rd, 2015, Phoenix
was adopted into a wonderful home.
He has two canine siblings and will
never know hunger or abuse again.

Our Work
9. • In July of 2015, our ACI Unit rescued over 70 animals from cruelty and neglect from an alleged training
and boarding facility. 68 dogs, 3 cats and 1 macaw were rescued. Approximately 20 dogs were found in
the backyard with access to a garage, while the rest were living in crates inside a feces-filled, urine
soaked house on the property. Three cats were also found in the home and one bird was living inside
the garage. None of the animals had access to appropriate food or water. 11 of the dogs were reclaimed
by their owners and the majority of these animals have already been adopted.
Recent ACI Rescues
10. • In August of 2015, our ACI Unit rescued over 150 animals from cruelty and neglect from a hoarding
situation. 108 cats and kittens (5 of which were deceased), 40 dogs, 3 doves, 2 chickens, 1 finch, 1
deceased parakeet, and 1 guinea pig were rescued. Dozens of deceased animals were also found on the
property. Most of these animals were cruelly confined in urine soaked and feces-filled crates. The
remainder of the animals were wandering the house which was also feces-filled. The smell of urine and
feces was so strong inside the house, you could smell it from the street. Staff had to wear respirators to
safely remove the animals from the house. All of these animals are being treated for various medical
issues. Once they are healthy, they will be available for adoption.

11. The SPCA of Texas Humane Education
program is designed to teach children
about the importance of kindness to
animals and how we treat our four-
legged friends. We also teach children
pet responsibility and how to interact
with cats and dogs to avoid being bitten.
Not only does this keep children safe,
but it helps keep animals from entering
the shelter because of a bite incident.
We reach hundreds of children each
year through our Critter Camps, school
visits, and shelter education tours.
