Partnership Communities

The ASPCA Partnership was a multi-year program launched in 2007 between the ASPCA and local organizations across the United States with one clear objective: To provide immediate, measurable and sustainable change for animals most at risk through collaboration and data-driven programs.
ASPCA Partnership agencies have seen a dramatic change in the increase of lives saved and animals spayed and neutered.
