AREAS OF FOCUS

Animal Welfare

Harare SPCA is the Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. We consist of an Inspectorate, a Veterinary Hospital, a Mobile Unit and Rehoming Kennels.

Established in 1911, the Harare SPCA is the oldest Animal Welfare Organisation in Zimbabwe.

The Harare SPCA is a registered, non-profit organisation (PVO 83/67).

We act as the Official Municipal Pound but do not receive any government or municipal funding.

Funding to keep the Society going is reliant on the good will and support of concerned Corporate entities, Individuals and Fund Raising efforts. There have been many improvements made to The Harare Spca’s facilities in 2017. The leaky roof has been repaired and repainted. The exterior wall and the consultation rooms have been painted very kindly by Dulux. A brand new exercise and environmental enrichment area has been sponsored and built by the incredible group of volunteer dog walkers. A vehicle has been bought and kitted out with heavy duty cages in the back to ensure the inspectors can transport any kind of dog or cat safely. The hospital wards are currently being refurbished too. Projects in line for 2018 are to refurbish the theatre and prep room as well as repairing and painting the ceilings.

The Harare SPCA operates from two premises: the Clinic and the Re-homing Kennels.

Harare SPCA is the first “Go To” place people will consult when their pet is missing – either to report or to search for.

Our role is to provide safe sanctuary and care for animals in and around Harare and at the same time endeavour to educate the populace about animal care to prevent ill treatment and cruelty to animals and promote sterilisation. We cover the whole of the Greater Harare area which includes all high density areas and Ruwa. No animal in need is ever turned away from our doors.
