Preserving Compassion in the Land of Israel

Established in 1927, SPCA Israel is the nation's pioneer in animal welfare. Stand with us to heal, protect, and shelter Israel's most vulnerable animals.

Our heritage

A century of kindness, rooted in the Land.

Founded long before the establishment of the state, SPCA Israel (est. 1927) is the historic foundation of animal welfare in Israel. Through decades of challenges, conflicts, and growth, our historic Tel Aviv sanctuary has never closed its gates.

Rooted in the timeless Jewish value of Tza'ar Ba'alei Chayim, we strengthen the fabric of Israeli society by bringing healing and mercy to the Land.

The Sanctuary

Rescue, Rehabilitation & Adoption

As Israel's oldest rescue shelter, we provide a warm haven, emergency medical intervention, and behavioral rehabilitation for hundreds of abandoned dogs and cats every year. Our dedicated team works tirelessly to match these resilient souls with loving, permanent families.

The Clinic

Medicine with a Mission

Our fully-equipped veterinary clinic operates as a pioneering social enterprise. Serving the general public alongside our shelter animals, 100% of the clinic's proceeds go directly back into funding life-saving surgeries, vaccines, and daily care for our homeless rescues.

The Legal Voice

Advocacy & Justice

We don't just treat the symptoms of cruelty; we fight the root causes. Our Legal Department actively operates inside Israel's parliament (the Knesset) and judicial system to secure strict enforcement of welfare laws, push for historic animal protection legislation, and fight neglect across the country.

Education outreach

Cultivating Compassion

Educating the Future

We believe true change begins with the next generation. Our active Education Department runs community outreach programs across Israel, reaching children, youth, and adults of all backgrounds to teach empathy, coexistence, and respect for all living creatures.

Our home

A sanctuary on Herzl Street.

Since 1927, our gates in Tel Aviv have stayed open — through every era of this land. The modest, tree-shaded building still welcomes every animal in need, and every visitor who believes kindness is worth showing up for.
