Founded in 1971 and incorporated in 1973, the Swift Current Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals (SPCA) began as a “shelter-less” organization that accepted stray pets for adoption. The initiative began with two sisters’ dreams of opening a shelter. So, in 1971, Meryl Campion and Fran Myhr formed a board with permission from then-Mayor R.C. Dahl. For the first couple of years, board members and volunteers cared for the animals in their homes. In 1973, the city granted the board use of a building, and the SPCA officially opened its doors at the corner of 11th Ave West and South Railway in Swift Current. In 1990, the current shelter on Knight Crescent opened its doors.

Operated by a combination of paid staff and volunteers, the SPCA Swift Current is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors and relies primarily on community funding. The Used Bookstore remains a successful, volunteer-run fundraising arm, and the Board oversees additional fundraising initiatives, such as the recent Capital Campaign.

We are a community-operated, community-focused organization dedicated to connecting lost, abandoned, and unwanted animals with caring individuals, families, and homes. This includes the prevention of unwanted litters by incorporating spay and neuter fees in every Adoption Contract. As a “no-kill” shelter, the SPCA Swift Current will never euthanize an animal to make room for another animal. Pets remain in the shelter until they’re placed in a home.
