The Lowveld Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals rescues abused and neglected domestic, farm and wild animals, promotes responsible pet ownership, provides a shelter for strays and a veterinary service for pets of underprivileged people.
The SPCA is the only Animal Welfare Organisation in South Africa which is governed by an Act of Parliament, the SPCA Act, 169 of 1993.
Every Society has to be registered with the Department of Social Development and Welfare (NPO). We receive NO government support and rely on the Public to continue in our quest for a cruelty free South Africa.

Enforcing these codes as well as serving on numerous Committees and Welfare Groups;
