About the Puerto Vallarta SPCA
The SPCA was founded here in Puerto Vallarta in 2007 by long term resident Janice Chatterton, who is originally from California.
The shelter is not supported by the government, corporations, foundations or businesses, and last year alone they rescued and found homes for 205 animals.
In January 2012 they opened their gorgeous new sanctuary on the outskirts of town. It is a no-kill shelter and can house approximately 65 animals at once. The dogs there are too often found living on the streets after being discarded and/or extremely abused.
The people at the shelter are devoted to the animal's physical and emotional rehabilitation and everyone is invite to come out and interact with the animals.
Mission
The mission of SPCA de PV is to help fund and promote sterilization, adoption, and healthcare efforts for companion animals in the Puerto Vallarta area; with the goal of eliminating the euthanasia of healthy and adoptable animals.
Donations are always needed and monies raised helps to support these various goals in ways that are most feasible within the community.
