MSPCA – Angell
About
The MSPCA-Angell, formally the Massachusetts Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and Angell Animal Medical Center, has worked in animal protection and veterinary care since 1868. In Jamaica Plain, Angell Animal Medical Center’s veterinarians, technicians and board-certified specialists provide primary, specialty, urgent and emergency care for tens of thousands of pets each year. The organization also places shelter animals in adoptive homes, investigates cruelty and advocates for stronger animal protection laws.
The MSPCA-Angell is the second-oldest humane society in the United States and an independent nonprofit that receives no state or federal funding and is not run by any other SPCA. It operates animal care and adoption centers in Boston, on Cape Cod, at Nevins Farm and at the Northeast Animal Shelter, and its community clinics offer low-cost veterinary care to financially qualified clients. Programs also help owners rehome pets or keep families and pets together.
