SPCA International works to stop the abuse and suffering of animals with innovative programs that serve both animals and their human caretakers.

OBS

SPCA International was founded in the U.S. in 2006. The mission of [this] organization is simple but vast: to advance the safety and well-being of animals. The majority of local SPCAs and humane societies around the world are not affiliated with national organizations, as most people may presume. Therefore, SPCA International seeks to develop and utilize a worldwide platform that both supports independent animal shelters and promotes the safety of animals. SPCA International strives to assist the growth and impact of independent shelters through alliance building, information networking, national and international programs.

The Brandon Humane Society has been in operation since 1946 when it was founded by Eleanor Kidd. She originally housed the shelter in her garage on 13th Street, then in an abandoned stable near Empress Bay, and later in an old barn near the riverbank where Eleanor Kidd Gardens are now located. In 1997, the shelter moved to its new premises at 2200 17th Street East. These days, our residents - both cats and dogs - live in a comfortable building with heat and air conditioning, two large exercise yards, an enclosed cat patio, and enough kennels for 20 cats and 13 dogs. When our kennels are full, our dedicated volunteers foster animals in their own homes. Since this is a no-kill shelter, the atmosphere is very positive... our animals are loved and well cared for as they wait to be adopted. We invite you to come visit us and see for yourself! Our Mandate. The Brandon Humane Society's constitution states that the Society: - has the primary purpose of providing aid and assistance to companion animals, - will accept unwanted companion animals into the shelter when space is available, - will make every effort to find homes for animals in our care, - and will educate the public on companion animal needs, especially the importance of sterilization.
