Fulton County Regional Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (or Regional SPCA, for short) had its humble beginnings as Regional Animal Shelter, which was founded and incorporated in NYS in 2002.Regional started as a grassroots group of dedicated animal advocates whose primary goal was to design, construct, and staff a new state-of-the-art animal shelter in the Fulton-Hamilton-Montgomery county area.In 2018, the decision was made to reincorporate as an SPCA to better serve the neediest animals in our community.Our mission is to engage the hearts, hands, and minds of the community to help animals. We provide immediate shelter and care for any homeless or abused animals and either reunite these animals with their owners or find them new, loving homes. We will actively promote animal and owner education, training, and public awareness to improve the lives of the animals in our community and beyond.
