Because they are not owned by us, the SPCA is unable to provide information on stray animals to callers, so please do not call the shelter inquiring about adoption availability of strays. Stray animals are unavailable for adoption during their stray holding period at the SPCA*. After their stray holding time expires, the SPCA works with many of these municipalities to transfer unclaimed dogs here to be assessed as adoption candidates. Each municipality is responsible for holding dogs within their jurisdiction. STRAY DOGS: If you find a stray dog, please call your local municipality for further instruction.
