Why give to the SPCA of Anne Arundel County?
Did you know that in a single year, the SPCA of Anne Arundel County (AACSPCA) takes in thousands of animals? This is why donations are so vital to us.
The money generated by our minimal adoption fees does not begin to cover our shelter expenses, much less the many services we offer throughout the year.

Donate Your Vehicle – Help Animals in Need
The SPCA of Anne Arundel County gratefully accepts donations of cars, trucks, motorcycles, RVs, and boats. Proceeds from the sale of donated vehicles directly support our mission to care for homeless animals and find them loving homes.
