A New Era of Compassion Starts Here

The SPCA of Wake County is opening the door to a new era of compassion with the creation of the Pet Admission & Resource Center, a striking investment in the future of animal welfare. This 27,000-square-foot facility will serve as a cornerstone of the Susan and Randall Ward Regional Campus for Pets & People, expanding lifesaving veterinary care, spay/neuter services, and community education. More than a building, it represents a lasting commitment to creating a brighter future for pets and the people who love them.

Capital Campaign Fundraising Progress:

To date, SPCA Wake has secured $24.2 million in commitments toward its $27.5 million campaign goal, marking major progress in creating the new Regional Campus for Pets & People.

MAKING ROOM FOR MORE LOVE.

The SPCA of Wake County works in over 50 counties across North Carolina supporting many rural and resource-strapped areas in order to save more lives and help more people. As a result of this work, SPCA Wake has identified a need for the people and pets in our region and beyond that isn’t currently being met.

To deepen our work in Wake County while expanding geographically, SPCA Wake has embarked on an endeavor to build North Carolina’s first-ever Regional Campus for Pets & People. This project will help transform entire communities and deliver profoundly needed resources for people and pets across the state.

Located at 200 Petfinder Lane in Raleigh on a 22-acre tract of land, this regional campus includes our existing Pet Adoption Center that will be joined by a new, state-of-the-art 27,000-square foot Pet Admission & Resource Center. This new building will replace SPCA Wake’s current Admissions Center, which was built in 1970 and is located in Garner.

This campus will serve as a place for the community to come to for help as well as a central hub to deploy resources across the state.
